Really disappointed to see him pinch hit for by Jack peterson, and he really didn't get much of a chance to show what he can do at the plate, but in the field, that guy has soft soft hands!
He's going to be fun watching over the years, and he is also got a good arm. First night watching him, very impressive! I know I want to see more, but I'm not going to get to because we're off on vacation Saturday! And we won't have access to a TV with the ball game.

The first at-bat he drove a ball the other way to the wall..and it didn't look like he got all of it. I was impressed by that. As you mention, he's got soft hands and I agree. He also gets rid of the ball fast. We'll see in the next week or two if this is a trial run or if he sticks.

The plan is to send Schmitt back down when Crawford is activated

After one game?
THAT would be tragic!
I think the kid needs to get some games under his belt.
If not, this was a WASTED call up.

But I thought his bat speed on that first ab, when he was likely nervous as all get out, was impressive.
Don't know why everyone keeps saying he won't make it as a SS, because I thought he showed good range and a strong arm.

It is if it's for only a game or two. That's my opinion.

If you are wondering why they sent Luciano down instead of Diaz or Schmitt, it is because they want him to get reps at 2B in AAA.

He needs to play, that's for sure! But from the minimal short sample size that I saw? I loved what I saw.

Why don't they give reps to Crawford at 2nd? Luciano is the shortstop of the future, and based on how our older players are playing I think the future is now.
I'm glad FZ didn't make a big move, but at the same time he's acting like he wants to stick with our homegrown guys...they why are they being log jammed in AAA? Get rid of the log jam so our younger players can play!

I would also love to get rid of the logjam but I am satisfied that they are playing four to five rookies in the field on a daily basis so that will have to do.
