re: Coomes' Injury-When did it happen & what's his status for tonight?

I really don't mind having Slaughter at 1st. Our defense is much better with him in the game. Remember that diving play he made to end the game in the SEC tournament...no way Coomes makes that play. He also scoops much better than Coomes.

While he isn't the best hitter at this point in his career...he looked just as good last night as Coomes has recently. I say keep him in the lineup for a while & see what he does. He hits the ball hard when he gets a hold of it.

You can always put Coomes back in if Slaughter can't produce offensively. Maybe some time off for Coomes will get him out of his 2 month hitting slump.
