Stovall was a SS or 2B at this level,
So you benching Berry, Doughty or Thompson?
Berry is a top 10 draft pick. Doughty is a top 3 round draft pick and while Thompson had his struggles defensively at shortstop he was a really good hitter and probably the most clutch hitter on the team. Also he cut down the errors considerably the last month of the season.

It's the same reason Arkansas doesn't have him at 2B this year. I think the point he's making is he didn't go to Arkansas to play 1st so Morgan being in place wasn't an issue.

Playing devils advocate here.. the reason we stuck with Thompson was because we really didn’t have much of an option to try there because of depth. Let’s say Stovall comes to LSU. Thompson has his struggles defensively, and at times offensively.. even though he came up very clutch at times. Having Stovall gives you an option. Lets Thompson see the bench for a minute and get his head right. And what if you plug Stovall in, he’s great defensively, and hits for a decent to high average?
Our biggest realistic option this season was to put Doughty at SS and Thompson at 2B. And errors still occurred.
