re: LSU Baseball postseason roster

Breaux is a fast guy on the bench;

Correct, and why I said we needed another fast guy on the bench. A close game might call for two pinch runners and we are limited.

quote:

---

Reid, in theory, is the lefty DH/PH candidate

Theories don't win games, Reid has not flourished in the role as a pinch hitter in limited opportunities; nor has he done much in limited starts as a DH.

Often Beau J looks overmatched against hard throwing righties with a good slider. The same applies to Romero, Slaughter and Woley. Against that type pitcher a good left handed bat would work.

quote:

---

LSU has not recruited or developed a lefty besides Bush...

And Bush coming on some helps, without him there would be no one.

quote:

---

Woley and Romero will never be confused for their speed, but they are good bats to have as backups this postseason

---

I like Romero more than anyone, but against righties with a good breaking ball, he struggles.
