I'm not against playing Jones, but I think it is apparent in more recent games that he cannot play first base like Morgan. It is very rare for Morgan to not make the play needed to bail out our weak arm throws in the infield. IF they weren't so unpredictable, I would stick with Jones. But they are and under pressure in upcoming more pressure games, our pitchers simply can't afford giving extra outs.
three players bring the same skill ....Travinski, Jones, and Beloso. Beloso should only be used against righties, no lefties. Jones needs to identify and be able to hit an SEC level curve/slider....so far not so good. Travinski is seeing and hitting better than the other two at the moment. LSU should find a place for him over the other two until that changes. Morgan at first for the rest of the year, and pinch it the others as the situation calls. There will be many more opportunities for errors at first base than Left field.
