re: 2B is the easiest position to play

Uh, obviously no ball that takes an infielder to his right leads to an easy throw, but when a 2B plays a back hand up the middle it's still not that tough to make the throw against your body to first. At least easy compared to a SS or 3B who will almost certainly have to one hop 1B and both have tougher angles.

I agree with you. I played SS most of my life. My Senior year, I get moved to 3rd and all of sudden I start bouncing the throws to first.
I get moved to 2nd and it was much easier than short or third.
I did play some OF when I was younger and that was pretty easy only because no one seemed to hit it in the outfield.

Then you're a fricking idiot. If it is so easy, why do ALL of our second basemen become SS? DJ, AB, Milam... GTFO here with that dumb shite.
So you're saying Dugas would've been fine at SS or 3B? Or Dar Dar or Simpson?
Dickenson was awesome at 2B last year, but the truth is that him, Milam, and Bras battled for the left side of the IF and Bras was better at 3rd and Milam was better at short. 2B was going to whoever came up short between those 3 guys and that was obvious.

I'm glad someone else gets it. OF is easy but you do need more speed, a good arm, and have to deal with fly balls in the sun and the twilight, which I hated in limited time in left.

I'm simply saying 2B is not the easiest position to play on the field. 1B is. Period. I think everyone agrees your best fielder is at short. Why does every SS come from either 2B or 3B? Because neither of those are "easy" positions to play. Hence, dumbass statement you made.

Having one of the boards biggest morons agree with you isn't a badge of honor.

If you can pick, yeah, 1B is easy. But how many guys are good at that? Also, you need decent height and wing span or you're a liability.

Looking at the ratios, he's just looking for something to agree with him

There isn't a person on LSU's roster who couldn't play first base.
There are few people on LSU's roster who could play second base.
If you can't comprehend that then you aren't half as smart as you think you are.

So why in the last few years was Jay trying give Paxton a look at 2B in the Fall? He had no errors in limited time there BTW and it's probably the only time he played there.
Why try Josh Pearson, a really awkward position player, at 2B?
Why Dugas, a guy with no real postion traits at 2B?
Now Dar Dar and Simpson get looks there when clearly Reaves and Ruckert have better gloves?
The easy answer is he feels you can put a lot of guys there to get their bat in the lineup. You can't do that at short, third, or even at first.

Well if its so easy then why couldn't they stick there? You are so dumb that you made a case against your argument while thinking you were making a case for it.

Clearly Reaves has a better glove? Reaves has struggled defensively literally everywhere he's played.
Ruckert does have a better glove, but his bat is behind. Hence why he entered the game now.

I think you're wasting your time. This guy very obviously backed up the shortstop on a JC team his dad happened to coach. He knows ball...never made an error in 4 yrs on the right side (said so himself)
Would have transferred to D1 if it weren't for that pesky shoulder

This take ranks pretty high on the list of tell me you don’t know baseball without telling me you don’t know baseball. Kindly shut the frick UP!

Middle infield is a very difficult position to play, lol.

Uh well... the fact that Jay only really tinkers with 2B showed that he felt that anyone could play there and it's a position you can stick someone at to get another good bat in the lineup.
And as for Reaves, you're proving your argument wrong. Reaves, like a lot of guys, can't play THIRD BASE. How many errors has he had at 2nd in games or scrimmages?
I mentioned like 5 guys that Jay tinkered with at 2nd, but during the same span, how many guys has he tried to squeeze in at SS, 3B, or 1B?

There is zero chance that you played in college and think 2nd base is the easiest position to play.
If we’re making a list, 2nd base wouldn’t be in the top 3

Maybe in little league, but when you have a righty heavy lineup going oppo, that backspin can be tough to read.
