Any word on why Schulte has not been playing?

---

I heard that it was a minor injury of some sort to her leg...Not sure if ankle or knee, but supposedly she will be good to go for next weekend.

My question is: does she fit anywhere? I don't see where she gets AB's. I could see her as a defensive replacement at 2nd late in games, but it's not like Shemiah is weak at 2nd.

I’ll be honest, Schulte will not see many reps this year as Shemiah Is over at 2B. Bourg is there as well.

Both hit significantly better at the plate on top of it. As the commentators said during one of the games this weekend, she will be hard pressed to see much time unless her bat improves. Her bat was very bad last year. I think Beth realizes having offense is crucial and she made it clear during the fall and spring that you will now need to hit to find room in this lineup.

Schulte is a great kid, hardworking and a great teammate. Beth will find her some time during some of the midweek games but she won’t ever be used really for these SEC games and post season aspirations. Unless a miracle happens with her bat.
