re: Kling's defense for Brown's bat?

He would have had a shot but it was far from routine.

I think that is the point, he's made some catches that looked routine until you realize how much ground he covered. It would not have been routine and it may have meant he had to make a great catch but he would have had a shot at it.

He really needs to figure out his bat. He started well last season and had that leg injury that limited his play for a bit. When he returned he seemed to have lost his ability to hit. I know it was mostly against non-SEC teams but this season he seems to have even struggled there. If he is coming back (I suspect he is but who knows) he needs to work on his hitting all offseason.
