I think the plan for Braun next year comes down to who ends up in the portal. If we see 2-3 high level OF, we could leave him on 1B. If we see a 1B we want, it's great that he can slide back to the OF and still provide a bat we need in the lineup.

It's smart to use Braun strategically and place him where he's needed most in the lineup, whether it's 1B or corner OF. I'd view it as a Trey Morgan situation, who was insane at 1B but played some OF to let guys like Beloso and Bear in the lineup.


Besides the injury situation, Morgan was a phenomenal athlete that physically profiled for the OF. Braun does not. The fact that he looked better at 1B than OF, the position he played his whole life, tells you what you need to do next.

Hawsey is close to and former high school teammate with Frederico who signed and plays for Ole Miss. But he’s probably buds with our Pearson.

Any word on Hawsey’s intentions?

What? Braun wasn't terrible in the OF.

Before you start offering any of thses guys, make sure you have the appropriate and overly cautious amount of money set aside for pitchers
