Los Angeles, CA - Henry Richardson got the call-up from AAA to replace injured star shortstop Joe 'Crayon' Frost for the Republic and went 9 for 21 in his first few games with the team.
Richardson went to Mississippi State and so far this year had posted a 325/399/508 line with 10 steals, 22bb 48k and 28 runs scored in AAA.
He played just a few games in ABL before his partner Steve Lewis went down with whatever-the-fuck the rest of the team has and he'll also meet the disabled list.
Up to fill the role comes his second-base partner in Francisco Saenz. Saenz was drafted a round after him in the 2012 first year player draft, and has been his partner on defense since 2012 when the duo played at A, in 2013 at AA, in 2014 in AAA and both also at AAA this season.
" I was happy to see Richie get the call-up, " Saenz went onto tell reporters after the Indian Wells Aeropostales victory last night, " It's just funny getting called up a week later. We always talked about it. We roomed together, we went to movies together... now we'll be playing for the Republic at the same time together... for atleast a few weeks. "
A few weeks is right, Lewis will be out for 3 weeks with an undisclosed hand injury and is fully expected to be given his starting gig as soon as he's able to come off the disabled list.
Lewis going to rehab will fully depend on how Saenz plays, after all... 3 weeks isn't really that long.

Make sure you disinfect the visitors clubhouse, as I'll be in town in a SIM and a half.
