 | re: A Look Ahead: 2014 LSU Baseball Lineup w/ Rotations - ThomasTiger on 6/13/13 at 9:47 pm
[quote]This kid has taken $hit from a lot of you this season. You'd think he was batting .195 with a .295 OBP (oh wait, that's Stevenson) instead of his .265 and .407 OBP. May I remind you that he has bounced back from near paralyzingly injury last year, causing him to miss part of the last season a...

Deep fly to center. A little tougher than routine but not much. Drifted back, got turned around, stumbled and never came close to getting a glove on it. If I recall the runner didn't score so it ultimately was a nonissue. ...

[quote]Mainieri is trying to figure out the proper balance between defense/hitting overall. Stevenson is the worst hitter but the best outfielder. Sciambra is an average hitter and average outfielder. Foster is a good hitter but probably the worst outfielder (At least he has an arm). McMullen i...

[quote]Can someone post the number of at bats. I still feel like Stevenson has had far less at bats. And I have been on sciambra train for little while now. He's a solid player. But I feel like solid player is his ceiling which there's nothing wrong with that. [/quote]

Laird
.190 SEC
.267 Overall
.341 OBP
Stevenson
.100 SEC
.176 Overall
.273 OBP
Sciambra
.250 SEC
.261 Overall
.411 OBP
So why is Sciambra out of the discussion? Seems to me he's by far the most consistent of the three. A little bit of defense does not justify .150 points in batting ...

So what's the deal with Stevenson starting? He has the lowest batting average on the entire team (.189 now). Is his defense vs. Sciambra's worth more than the 85 points in batting average between the two (.274 vs. .189). On base percentage is even more disparate (.442 vs. .295). Laird in center/...

After watching several scrimmages this Fall and Spring, I don't see any freshmen pitchers helping this team as a weekend starter this year. I believe spot relief is the best you're gonna get out of this class. None of them looked anywhere near being able to compete in the SEC. Not even close.

Offense looks good. Katz, Rhymes and Ross have homered in first two scrimmages. Bregman had a double today. He also seems comfortable at SS. Team speed is much improved. Sciambra has 4 hits in the 2 games. Laird has struggled in the field. Stevenson seems solid. Ross looks like a beast behind the pl...

Don't always assume kids are "cut". Typically schools have exit meetings with players after the Fall. Some are flat out cut, some are encouraged to go JC but it isn't necessarily a mandate, some are told playing time will be sparse and choose to leave for more playing time, etc. I doubt our staff ...

Ross continues to consistently throw guys out stealing. Sciambra made a great catch sliding over the mound in the right field bullpen....
