It’s mind boggling at this point. From all accounts he’s a good dude and is a solid, experienced backup, but people want to build him into something he isn’t while downplaying a legitimate first round talent at the same position.

I think he’s even regressed defensively. The better the pitchers have gotten under Johnson, the worse he looks trying to catch the ball.

Definitely still an elite catch & throw guy but so is Neal & Travinski is very good too

He doesn’t have Neal’s power but he was a better hitter in conference than Neal was.

It’s a good problem to have.

You and Lester ate crow and crow shite last year so keep it going.

Before last year it was “If Milazzo hits >.200 he is good enough because of the talent. Then he hit nearly .300 and LSU won every game at Omaha he started. He had valuable AB’s and did more than some “regular” starters. You DO NOT NEED TO HIT FOR POWER TO CONTRIBUTE.

Nobody is downplaying anything. And if I’m this first round talent playing a position that’s tough on the body I’m perfectly fine taking some games off.
