Probably got called up too early... but the defense combined w. a 92 wRC+ is sadly much better than Crawford provides at the position.

He'll likely need more time in the minors... but this is what happens when you rely on a turd at SS.

They should go get CJ Abrams. Why not?

Good time to use wRC+.

Everyone under 100 is a below league average bat.

They've given almost a full season of a full time players worth of plate appearances (488) cumulatively, to Wisdom, Refsnyder, Masterboner, Rivas, Joe, and Garver.

Then, Naylor goes back to being an averageish player.

Cal Raleigh fell off the planet.

What a mess.

Sunken cost is why Refshyster, Garver and Robles continue to get all that playing time. The money is wasted and they have to beat a dead horse to get SOMETHING out of them no matter how many wins it costs. That's seriously the front office mentality. You could make the argument that this applies to Emerson as well but at least he has a future.
