Wow, he doesn't even have a small sample size in AA. Are the Blue Jays having injury issues?

Can't say I have seen him live or know much about him but here is a write up on him at:

http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2018?list=cin

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 50
Long broke out as a prospect in 2016, hitting his way across two levels of A ball and finishing among the organizational leaders in a host of offensive categories. He was at it again in 2017 and even though he struggled upon earning a promotion to Double-A and missed a few weeks with a wrist issue, he still finished third in the system in slugging percentage and fifth in home runs.

Long's left-handed bat is his calling card. Despite his 5-foot-8 frame, Long has shown the ability to consistently impact the baseball. The power is legitimate, coming from outstanding bat speed and very quick hands. He does strike out some, but his walk rate went up in 2017 and he's shown a willingness to use all fields. Possessing average speed at best, Long is an aggressive baserunner who swiped 21 bases in 2016, though that number decreased to nine in 2017. A catcher when he first began his pro career, he moved to second in 2015, allowing his bat to take off, and he's worked to become an adequate defensive infielder.

As long as he can maintain average, or close to it, defense, Long should have a long career as an offensive-minded second baseman. His bat shouldn't take too much longer to be ready for Great American Ball Park.
