I usually appreciate your insight but I think you're missing the point here. Nobody is stating they will BEG him to stay but what's the downside of wanting him on the roster? Experienced player that is more productive than most give him credit for. You have 3 holes on the infield, it's not like we're just missing a SS and he's the odd man out. For what? So we can rely on maybe starting two true freshman on the infield? I just don't see the upside to letting him leave because you think the team is littered with talented depth, it's not. Having experienced players like JT with 2 years in the SEC under his belt only helps the team, imo. You all are treating his stat line like he hit .200 and struck out half his ABs. Kramer Robertson was the worst hitter I had ever seen for 2 full seasons at LSU and then hit over .300 his last 2 years. I just don't see how you can look at the trend and ignore the improvement.

The OP is asked if we see Thompson in the portal. I'm answering the question. And, explaining why it wouldn't surprised me or scare me. It's turned into why Thompson shouldn't be processed. I didn't realize we had so many Thompson fans.
