75% of AA he played SS and 50% in AAA he split with Triunfel who's ahead on the depth chart and by all reports a pretty decent MLB SS. Why start him at SS at all if he's not one? To me they were trying to show Triunfel respect, and give his shot first priority, not worry so much about how Franklin needs SS reps. That's more like Z's MO IMO - don't rush ahead of yourself and annoint a prospect SSotF, give the guy ahead of him first crack. That's why Carraway was called up before Hultzen, even though any armchair GM has penciled in Hultzen for next year with Carraway nowhere to be found, why Walker was 5th starter to start the year despite higher prospect status. Franklin is still a SS until he plays 0% in AAA, until then take the 'scouting reports' from Churchill, Newman, Sickels, KLaw, etc with a grain of salt.
