Did Dugas solidify himself as our everyday 2nd baseman this weekend?

I think he did. Nippolt is a good player and great defender but if Dugas stays healthy you got to keep that bat in the lineup. What do y’all think?

At 2nd base? Because he hit western michigan? No.
But obviously we have seen him do it before. He definitely cant be taken out of the lineup right now.
And this is coming from the president of the dugas fan club

How long before everyone is complaining that he's hitting solos at the leadoff spot? WE NEED GUYS ON BASE FOR HIM.

He is becoming Johnson’s Tyler Moore

He’s going to be in the lineup unless he begins to slump. Whether it’s at 2B or somewhere else depends on several other factors.

Yes, he solidified himself…until he cools down and unsolidifies himself. I hope he stays hot. I’m rooting for him most of all.

His defense was solid, his offense was excellent. I think so.

Dugas should be the 2B starter by the time SEC play rolls around. I'm sure JJ will continue to rotate and give guys reps until then. Nippolt may get the short end of the stick but he is the ultimate situational/pinch hitter w/ an elite glove. Pretty sure he had a sac rbi every opportunity he faced.

Id expect that he’s at 2nd and Nippolt at 3rd at least until Tanks gets back

I don't think so quite yet, but man what a weekend he had.
Posted on 2/20/23 at 2:58 pm to Tigerfan76701
I mean if he continues to bash, Johnson showed last year (Berry) that you’ll have a place somewhere

I really don't think there are too many spots that are truly solidified besides CF, SS and 1B. We have a wealth of options. I doubt Dugas' big weekend really opened anyone's eyes or altered anyone's perspective on him - he's proven he can hit before. I think no matter what, Nippolt is going to keep getting ABs no matter where he is in the field. Still a lot of things to shake out.

I think it's more likely you see him move back to LF when Tanks comes back. Assuming he stays hot.
The real question is whether you leave Jones as the DH, or give the nod to Jobert at that spot. I think it'll largely depend on who the starting pitcher they're facing is.

It's week 1. The only everyday players right now are Crews Morgan Thompson and White when he's healthy. Slumps will happen and players will alternate based on matchups and who's hot

I don't think Dugas will ever solidify himself as an every day starter. If he could, it would have been so in 2021 and he would have never sat the bench last season. His college production warrants him never not starting but it is obvious that his playing time will always be directly correlated with his current production. He's just not Jay's guy. Jordan Thompson is Jay's guy-- not that Thompson is bad by any means. He's just not close to the college player that Dugas has been.

Other than the pitching, Dugas’ performance was my favorite part of the weekend.
Posted on 2/22/23 at 1:31 pm to Tigerfan76701
I lean toward the notion to where if he hits he plays.
If the defense becomes an issue, you re-evaluate. There has bee. no defensive pressure thru four games, however.

he once led the sec in rbi'z
he can hit against errybuddy, not just west mich
leave him in until it's apparent he is a liability on defens, which he may not even be. i haven't seen that.
put in Nippolt late in games to protect leads if that is prudent
