Not sure if it was said or not, but during the broadcast today Buck asked Alomar about Goins and he said he saw him in Buffalo and was so impressed that he mentioned it to AA and said he should give him a chance in the big league.
And just to add to what was said before about his hitting, so far he isn't impressive but he hits the ball hard, he has low K rate and he puts the ball in play, give him some time with Mottola and he might do better, he has the ground work already.
