Does this mean that even Yost questions the abilities of Frenchy and Melky?

In a recent article (link) on the Royals website, it appears that Neddy boy might have let slip that he isn't 100% on the longevity of his starting outfield build.   

A subplot of the leadoff story is that the Royals' camp is jammed with outfielders and, at most, five will be on the Opening Day roster, including right fielder Jeff Francoeur, left fielder Alex Gordon and Cabrera in center.

"We made a commitment with Melky and Francoeur to give them a good two-, two-and-a-half month shot at it," Yost said.

Gordon, just shifted to the outfield successfully last year, also will be given a good chance to show improved production at bat.

"All Alex has got to do is take it and run with it. He's done his part. He's worked on completely revamping his swing to where he can make more consistent contact, more power contact but he's still got to go on the field and produce," Yost said.

- Emphasis added by me.  

Now, I might be reading a bit too much into that quote, but it seems like one wouldn't make a comment like that if you were more sure about your off-season signings.  Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the Frenchy singing supposed to be advertised as a full-time acquisition instead of roster filling.  I was under the impression that the Francoeur commitment was that he was signed with the intention that he would be a permanent player out there (which is why we were all down on the signing).  Instead, Yost makes it sound as if he is just a placeholder (which is what we hoped) and that maybe Jonah Keri's (link) interpretation is correct.

What do ya'll think?  (And I apologize if this has already been posted somewhere)
