re: Kling's defense for Brown's bat?

If you look back at their last 16 SEC at bats ( bc that’s all Brown has to go off of) Kling has 4 RBI and Bingham and Brown both have zero. Bingham has struck out 8 times compared to 6 for Kling and 5 for Brown. Brown is the leader in the clubhouse for runner LOB with 4. Kling has the higher OBP of the 3 with Bingham having the lowest. Kling also has more hits, but it’s not enough of a difference to really bring up. The only thing I will say is that Kling absolutely destroyed a couple balls into the wind at Missouri that bring his numbers in the last 16 at bats down.

Granted it’s a smaller sample size, but regardless of all this, there isn’t enough separation to justify sacrificing one of the most important positions in the field. But that is my opinion and why I’m not getting paid and CJJ is.

The only argument at this point imo is Bingham vs Kling. Do you give Bingham a chance to bust out of his slump and sacrifice some speed and defense. Bingham faired ok during the tough part of our SEC schedule so there is nothing to say he can’t break through.

I ultimately think Bingham gets the next shot, bc Jay has shown in the past to value offense more than defense. Overall he has had the better season at the plate. But Brown being in vs Kling so far has been a downgrade in all areas. I understand Brown needs more at bats and experience but we are trying to get into a regional at this point. That ship has sailed.
