First of all, for what ever reason, Guidry hasn’t lived up to pre season expectations on the mound. So this move is worth strong consideration.
2nd, Braswell simply ain’t cutting it at SS. 9 errors and what should have been several more just ain’t cutting it at Shortstop. His play at SS definitely has been a huge contributor in costly us 2 games! He is not an SEC caliber SS.

Yes there has to be several more moves but this should be the first!

Guidry hasnt gotten any reps in the infield this year (including winter practice), you just expect to throw him out there at SS and expect good things to happen?

They have given Guidry multiple opportunities to get reps at SS and its been pretty bad between the plate AND the field in the past. He was given opportunity this past fall and failed. He was given opportunity as a freshman and failed.

He's been focused on pitching now because he's way better at that.

Your only other options at SS right now in reality are Nippolt, Milam and Kucherak. Thats it

The coaching staff has basically told you for 2 years Guidry can’t play short and now we’re expecting him to be our guy

For what?

So we can have a shortstop that can’t field and also not hit?


There’s probably a good reason why he hasn’t gotten any reps there.

Can I use this thread to post random, meaningless two word comments to drive my post count up? You know, like you do in the game threads?

the issue is that Braswell IS hitting

Highest BA and OB% in conference play

I mean his Ob% is .489

can’t take that out of the lineup.

SS is not the biggest issue with this team. Braswell is batting .287. As a team in general, defense has been an issue. We have a centerfielder who plays unreal defense but cannot hit a baseball if his life depended upon it. We play a catcher in Neal who cannot block a breaking ball and cannot hit SEC pitching. Lay off of Braswell, he is not coming out of the lineup

Add Guidry is not EVER gonna be a SS option at LSU. Defense is mediocre and cannot hit an off speed pitch.

Let’s think about this for a minute…. Within months of arriving on campus as a 2-way player the offensive minded head coach decided to completely give up on Guidry being a position player and solely focus on pitching

What are your expectations for Guidry at the plate.

You can't say "let's see". That's not good enough. You have to tell me what you think Guidry would have to hit in order for this move to make sense.

Tell us about your observations of Guidry at SS that warrants him to be named the starter immediately?

Why not mook blackjack at SS, since we are not going to go with the best guy?

If Guidry was good enough he’d be the SS. If we are replacing Braswell it will probably be either Milam or a freshman.

Not to rail on Guidry but he's had a chance to beat out 2 shortstops that have large holes in their game and hasn't been able to beat out either.


And with Braswell hitting, his best chance to play SS was last seaon over Thompson

While I like Guidry, you do realize his senior year of high school he was moved to second and lost position at SS.
