A healthy Brandon Crawford was held out of the Giants’ lineup for a second straight game Friday, with rookie sensation Casey Schmitt making his second straight start at the position Crawford …
Crawford has started more games at shortstop than anyone in Giants history, and he’s in good company having logged more games exclusively at the position than all but three players in MLB history — Luis Aparicio, Ozzie Smith and Derek Jeter.

The veteran shortstop has taken it all in stride, though, earning praise from Kapler for his mentorship of Schmitt and Brett Wisely, the Giants’ other rookie middle infielder.
“I think Craw’s doing a really nice job handling the situation,” Kapler said. “Probably more importantly than anything else, he’s done a great job of mentoring our younger players like Casey Schmitt and Brett Wisely. … “Craw and I have had a couple of chats along the way and we’ll continue to stay in touch on things. We’re not gonna have a talk everyday. It’s one of those things that can become overkill. But we’re in communication and I’m trying to give him a heads up on days he’s going to play.”was also out of the lineup Friday. He was limited to pinch-running duties after tweaking his left wrist in his final at-bat Wednesday in Minnesota.
