This is the real beginning of our team being impacted by the Luis Castillo trade (going to disregard the 10.1 innings from Levi Stoudt because they were so limited and ineffectiive).
This tells me that Johnathan India's injury may be long term. Originally slated to come back last week, he had a set back that he blames on the Reds trainers (he started movement after a week, but a second opinion said he should not have done anything for 2 weeks minimum).
If India can't come back this year (and perhaps gets traded over the off season due to breakdowns with the trainers and front office?), then getting Marte a lot of experience will be key.
With this call up, our every day infield will be:
Marte 3B
EDLC SS
McLain 2B
CES 1B
And, when Marte or CES is off, Steer likely takes their spot. Otherwise, Steer will be DH or LF.
An all rookie infield....that's pretty insane.
