The San Francisco Giants shortstop will bat eighth in the NL starting lineup for the MLB All-Star Game Tuesday night.
That alone should tell you what most of baseball thinks about the talented shortstop. I know he’s in a lineup with some of the best in the league, but to bat him eighth with the season he’s having shows he’s not on the national scale with others.
Even after being part of two World Series teams and helping the United States win their first World Baseball Classic, Crawford is an underrated player in our game.
