Why is it so hard for JJ to bench Yorke! The guy is not good.

He is not a D1 caliber player. That’s why no other D1 school ever gave him an offer.

He should have been given the Zion Williamson ultimatum to get down to a reasonable size or he wouldn't be able to play.

He is an error machine and isn’t doing crap at the plate either. He is way over his head playing in the SEC

Go watch Moneyball. Drawing walks doesn’t pan out the way it looks on paper in the long run.

No, he does one thing that’s really valuable at the plate. He gets on base. Close to had the time. It doesn’t matter how much y’all hate him, that is going to play and keep him in the lineup.

And leads the team in walks & 2nd highest HBP

He gets on base, it’s the K’s that are so ugly people forget all the times he gets on

his OPS is 914. he has been awesome.

his OBP is 475. everyone with that OBP needs as many AB as possible.

ignore batting average its an obsolete stat.

he leads the team in walks. this helps everyone because it wears out the pitchers. he has been fine and should play every day.

Doesn’t matter how fast you are if you aren’t on base.

while very true that he takes pitches and gets on base, it’s a push considering he’s a low IQ baserunner.

Frankly saying his OBP is 2nd highest in the team is a low bar, with the season we’ve had, thus far.

Bottomline he’s not done enough offensively to justify his negative defensive play.

Alternatively, I trust JJ… this may just be an indictment in what we have behind him.
