re: Worst game of Paul Mainieri's career at LSU?

I said "late game defensive adjustments"
And yes, Zardons errors came when he was playing 3rd (on throwing errors after fielding the ball) Chinea would have never made a throw because he wouldn't have even fielded it. First base is just a tiny bit easier position to man.

As far as batting averages, Zardon is a mere 8 points behind Chinea, however, he has a higher on base percentage & higher slugging percentage. If either happen to bat again in this "late game defensive adjustment", you better hope it's a right handed pitcher. Chinea is batting 176 against lefties, Zardon is batting 409

Yep, Zardon allows us to substitute a better defensive lineup on the IF and allows us to keep Foster's bat and he ends up in a more natural position for him, LF or RF. We need an OF that can throw someone out especially at the end of a tight game. Teams run on us constantly. It's a conundrum lineup-wise....
