Jordan Thompson had a stretch where he couldn’t throw the ball to first base. I wasn’t sure he’d ever get over it. That was erratic & bad.


And When it was said & done, i wouldn’t even classify him as a bad SS. He just had a bad few months. Playing SS is one of the hardest things to do in all of sports.

It was compounded by his struggles at the plate. Bad defense and bad offense will get a lot of folks, me included, calling for your head. He fought back on both fronts but then collapsed down the stretch. That's baseball and its also easy to comment from the cheap seats.

I’m not denying that, but I’m comparing him to other SS, not some 1B that isn’t expected to be good defensively. Braswell has made a bunch of errors this year and he doesn’t have the physical tools to make up for it like Thompson did. Even when Thompson was making errors, every once in a while he would make a great play that would somewhat make up for it. Braswell doesn’t get that because he doesn’t have the physical abilities to make those plays.

I’m not calling for him to be benched, but I think this year up to this point he has been pretty bad defensively relative to other shortstops. Hopefully he improves.
