I don’t think Cleto is going to make that start
Nope he and Kozma were called up to the Big club today.
Kozma… ok now this is getting really pathetic… a .220 hitter at AAA.
And Greene has been putrid this year – he doesn’t have to be a superstar
Last time I checked Greene was a .280 plus hitter in his time at AAA. But this may be a good move since absolutely nothing is expected from Kozma’s bat .100 avg. He will only be used as a defensive replacement and take zero if any time away from Schu or RT. Problem with Greene is he is a much better player than Kozma at this point and needs to play everyday. By him being at AAA it gets the public off TLR’s back to remove RT from SS since Kozma is not even close to being capable of playing at the ML level. So all in all good move for Greene(he gets to play everyday) and TLR(he now has the excuse that there is no ML level capable replacement for RT or Schu).

Last time I checked, Greene can’t put down a bunt or make drive guys in at the major league level. You must be high on him – I’d rather not see him again
Ugh – drive guys in
In fairness, you have to be able to hit the ball to “drive guys in”, a skill that has proven to be difficult for Tyler Green.
Greene hasb been pretty bad but I’m confident kozma will do equally bad or worse.
So then, it really doesn’t matter which one is up.
