The guy who may go down as the worst LSU hitter of all time is your starting SS at LSU. There is no way we can’t plug someone in at SS that has a much better bat. He’s probably a great kid but man he is just awful at the plate.

I wish Eddie Smith would at least teach Hal to hit the ball on the ground. His little leaguer cans of corn to shallow right field get pretty sad to watch

Of course we can plug someone in who can hit better. At this time there is really only one choice - the third baseman, Mathis. However, he can’t make the plays Hal can make, and if that results in one opponent batter getting on base in each game, then replacing Hughes with Mathis would be a colossally stupid move. Remember, you would not only get worse at shortstop, you would also get worse at third.

The answer is Zach Arnold. Unfortunately, he had to have surgery before the season, but when he comes back it’s reasonable to expect that he’ll need about a month to start hitting well.

Arnold expected back mid-March. Might be mid-April before he’s in the lineup
