I'm a huge Milazzo fan, but I'm not sure he should ever be inserted into a lineup bc of his bat.
He does have good at bats against SEC pitching, though. He can work a count and if he doesn't draw a walk or get a little single up the middle, he's usually getting the pitcher to throw about 10 pitches. That's also huge because we've had trouble working counts at times this year.
In a season where our pitchers have struggled with control at times, Milazzo is greatly needed behind the plate. He gives pitchers the confidence to throw whatever pitch because they know he's most likely going to stop it. Can't say the same about a Neal or Trav.
Last night was a good example of that. Sure, Neal gave us the early lead, but then he helped give it right back up with a couple of bad passed balls.
