Hal Hughes does not field well enough to play while batting .174.
Chris Reid more than made up any separation defensively by being competent at the plate. He also had a better fielding percentage than Hal Hughes.

You’re all good here.

Hughes is undeniably a better defender. I just didn’t think there was anyone disagreeing with this position
Side note: my official guess is that Hughes is going to hit well in summer league (again) and start the season at SS...and everyone will melt

Hal Hughes errors were base hits against Chris. He also played in much closer because of his lack of range and they still bunted against Chris much more than Hal and he still struggled fielding a bunt. I loved the guy but he was a liability in the field and on the base paths.

And that is the crux of it. Sure bring him in for the 8th/9th innings, if you really feel he is a significant DEF upgrade. His bat is a liability in the starting lineup. Sadly he even is not capable of laying down a sac bunt to advance runners (a productive AB). He is totally overmatched at the plate, and I hate saying this about any LSU player.

No one fields well enough to play when hitting 174.
In general, a good bit of our roster needs to gain 20 pounds of muscle per man. I do not know if that helps Hughes or not.

There aren’t stats to show that Hughes could get to more balls and made more plays than Reid did. Which is very much the case.
