hellmers was recruited as a pitcher. he wasn't recruited as a third baseman. I dont know what you dont get about that.

it was probably Nolan who didnt even mention he could play infield. when you recruit pitchers, you recruit pitchers. doesn't really matter what else he played in high school. hell, 90% of the pitchers on the roster probably played in the field somewhere. you dont see pitchers only in high school very often.

Jared Poche played outfield for lutcher and hit like .400 his senior year. do you think anyone on the staff cared he played outfield?

Poche’ played first base at Lutcher when he didn’t pitch and batted third in the order.

Should it had mattered? Probably not since Poche’ was a starting pitcher from jump, but from what I saw he may have been a college first baseman too.

Look, if you don't want to read the actual bio that says he could contribute on the field which I'm sure are written by someone on staff who knows the plans for these freshmen, I don't know what to tell you. You're being willfully ignorant. Hellmers was brought in with the possibility playing on the field. And he was down the road... love that you ignored that part.

Point being, PM isn't involved. He doesn't know what he's getting sometimes. That's a problem.

He was recruited primarily as a P but has a good bat and is a top notch 1B. He was recruited with potential 2 way play.

How he ended up at 3B with little practice there and opening weekend is a travesty.

Knew he would bounce back but he was given a shite hand to start he career at LSU.

What do you not get. Paul doesn’t know his players.
Nor does he care to.
He can’t read his file?
