Crawford looked very confident like Hoskins at the plate and he was really good in the field. Time will tell how well he can adapt to ML pitching. If he can hit and keep his high OBP, Kingery and Caesar could complete the left side of the infield w/o Garvis and Franco. I think the best power combination would be a rehabbed Franco, Crawford and Kingery.

The Phils must be concerned about how Franco's production has steadily declined in three years, losing 60 points in average and OBP, and 100 in slugging. He needs serious rehab on the farm to get straightened out. I would hate to see him traded prematurely.

He needs much more time. He might be good someday down the line.

Why do we continue to keep players who consistently prove they are done?
