I know Braswell had a good fall, but if he does not start hitting the ball, Milam could take his spot at SS with Pearson at 2nd.

Braswell made solid contact all weekend, the ball just found a lot of gloves.

I don't see that happening anytime soon. Braswell may be batting only .200, but he hasn't struck out. He's making contact. He's got a walk, double, and a sac bunt in 12 trips the plate.

To make that happen, you'd put Milam at SS and Pearson at 2B. Pearson is batting very similar to Braswell so it isn't worth benching a veteran SS just to get a small upgrade at the plate based on 3 games of stats.

With all that said, Jay likes to tinker and this lineup isn't close to its final form. Last year's opening day lineup and game 3 of the CWS finals had 4 starters in common.

Braswell looks like a pro in the field. He sure gets the ball out of a his glove quickly. Hitting will come around. He is making contact.

That’s not gonna happen. Ole Jay promised Braswell he was the starting SS for the season. Just like he did Neal for last season.

It’s early but Milam not gonna ride the bench if he keeps this up. Jay likes what he sees.
Why do you think he played so much this weekend?

THIS! I saw Milam at SS in a spring scrimmage and LOVED his hands. Kid can flat out play!
