Wouldn't the call up and actual appearance in the playoffs be a bit of an indication that they have some expectation that the kid will be with the team this season? He may not break spring training with the club, but I think he might be someone who is given time to spell either infield spot on some basis. Transition him slowly, and he certainly can't hurt you in the lineup if all he's replacing is Infante's bat.
Where does the kid project to likely bat in the order?
