How long for Wong?

Well, if he keeps playing the same way he has early in the year, probably about as long as it takes Jedd to come back from the DL...

3R will enjoy this...but I'm really not sure why Garcia doesn't get the starts there. He might K a million times in 500 ABs...but he'll also get about half a million walks.

At this point he can't really be worse than the way Wonger is playing...

Defense is probably inferior. He's at least a high OBP guy.

Wong has the ability to make a hard play look easy and an easy play look hard...at least with Garcia you know he's going to be average there and make the plays he should. I'm not sure what the deal with Kolten is, but he looks lost so far. It's such a bummer because he had his best year as a pro last season and I hoped to see him build upon that. However, it is still early so maybe he'll turn it around.

Agreed. I thought maybe he had locked down the 2B spot. Now I'm back to wondering if he ever will. Although Fowler and Marp aren't exactly lighting it up either. There's still time to get going.

True...50-60 ABs in is still fairly small size...double that, and we've got an issue. Marp and Fowler have earned the leeway. Not really sure Wong has. At this point, I think I'd ride Garcia until he bucked me, then go back to Wong.

Jed is back today too. Munoz sent down.

I hate to say this but if Wong has to play then he needs to bat 9th as most of the pitchers are better hitters.

That guy needed some AAA time. He looked lost at the plate.
