re: Kramer Robertson called up by Cards!!

A little better hitter but a little less on the defensive side.

Kramer is an outstanding fielder. His fielding pct at 2B this year was .995 (exactly the same as the 2021 MLB leader at the position, Kolton Wong).

Problem is, he's stuck behind a few other utility infielders in the pecking order. The cardinals also have Nolan Gorman coming up next year who is a 3B by trade, but isn't beating out Nolan Arenado for that job, so they'll have to find somewhere else for him.

Kramer didn't get called up to the big club, per se. He's only on the taxi squad, which means he won't make the active roster unless an injury (or a few) pop up or if the team wants to go hitter-heavy on the bench during the WC game.

Still happy for him. Sure doesn't suck to chill in LA with no pressure while enjoying the perks of big league ball
