re: Reflections from the 1st weekend of SEC ball

Good writeup. I agree with most everything you said. My main takeaways

quote:

---

Jared Jones; not so fast my friend with all the Beloso talk. After a 7RBI Saturday, came back Sunday with 2 more hits. Only struck out 3x in 16 plate appearances this weekend.

---

I was almost more impressed with only having 3 K's than his 7 RBI's. I think him limiting strikeouts is huge.

quote:

---

- Lets start with Jordan Thompson. If anyone had any doubt he was 'back', he put that to bed on Saturday, making a wide array of plays from various spots on the field. He is also unloading his throws without any worry; everyone seems on target. He legitimately looks like an early round draft pick after this year.

---

I would still like to see him hitting a little better. Not that he's been bad necessarily, but I would like a little better average or a little more pop, either or.

quote:

---

As for Floyd, I still think he should be moved to the bullpen.

---

I'm not totally sure why, but I've always had this feeling. Even though his numbers have been good, I feel he's not a starting pitcher for some reason.

quote:

---

- Which brings me to my next thought, Chase Shores should replace him in the rotation.

---

I'm not totally convinced of this yet. Asking him to go 5 innings each weekend is a lot. But you're right, Floyd isn't able to last that long either.

quote:

---

I think Jay really needs to streamline Gavin Guidry on the mound to see what he has.

---

I would really like to see this as well.
