Agreed. Didn't Beane essentially say they needed to see Tremaine become a more assertive player this year? I don't have a link to reference, just going off a vague memory of an interview over the summer.
From what we saw in preseason, Bernard doesn't seem to have the range in coverage that Edmunds has, but we shall see. If not, he seems like he could be the new Milano next to a re-signed Edmunds.
