Because he was a low ceiling/mlb close pick and we have no other options at 2B sans theriot and skip.

I mean, I'm ready to bring him up right now. He can't be worse can he?
Dan Descalso says hi.

Why not? It's a month's worth of AB's. Let's call it a "carrot."

Never understood the need to rush prospects, but it's not something to dig my heels in over.

They did that to Wallace, I think.
Yes, they did.

Heck of a doubleheader from our 1st round draft pick yesterday.

Between the two games, he combined to go 6-8 with two doubles and a homer. Only downside was the two errors he made in the first game.

they were probably errors on balls that our 2b platoon can't reach anyway

I believe they were errors of omission, rather than comission, as Wong forgot to send thank you notes for the fruit basket and cheese plate he received last week.
