Move Browell to 2nd and put the best fielding SS out there whether it be Nippolt, Kucherak, Roellig or Guidry and give it a look.


One of those is redshirting apparently because he hasn't played an inning yet. Two of those are guys that have proven they can't hit at this level.

So then you're looking at Kucherak as having to both be better than Brasswell at short and better than Milam at the plate. But without the playing time to adjust to the speed of the game at this level in the middle of conference play.

Do you know how unlikely it is that he would be able to pull that off?

I assume Roellig is RSing, as well.

I'm sure that JJ knows best but, I would like to see Kucherak and Nippolt get more playing time at SS is what I'm saying. What is hurting at this point by working them in? We've had good sample of what he's been running out there. Move Braz to 2nd and let Milam get some spot starts, DH and PH. See if any of these guys step up and shore up the middle.
