Nola plays good defense. But so does DJ. Any praise of Nola comes at the cost of tearing down DJ. And DJ is a much better hitter. Nola will be a great player for us. But he's a freshman right now. And he looks like a freshman who isn't ready. No shame in that. Plenty of players were overmatched as freshmen before turning it on the rest of their careers.


I agree with you. But right now he is our best SS in the field to win games

And I think the slight upgarde in defense is not worth the huge downgrade in offense. DJ is a pretty good SS in his own right.

If DJ was playing the field poorly, I think the move would be worth it. But he wasn't.

ETA: Why is it bad form to criticize Nola's defense as not being a true Tiger or whatever, but it is perfectly okay to criticize DJ's defense? Or every bench OF's offense (I kinda wouldn't mind Chad Jones as both a pitcher and a hitter) Could someone please post the list of the people we are allowed to criticize and those who are immune from criticism?
