re: Does Kling do better going to a smaller school and putting up better batting numbers

I know this is hard for some of you to believe, but Kling improved significantly throughout the second half of the year, including against SEC pitching

That’s not what I as told

I don’t think Pearson is a second baseman if you look at what is needed, ie: quick lateral movements, strong arm…. Love Pearson but not in the infield.

Kramer was here all 4 years, and he was at least decent if not good his junior year.

Correct. He struggled at the plate his first two years. His batting average jumped almost 100 points in his junior year I think.

It will be up to him and the staff. There are already spots we have to fill, so I doubt Jay tells him to move on, but he could decide to do that on his own. NIL could also play a role after a disappointing season, as he may get less and move down a peg to have a better shot to play and make as much or more than he will here next season.

I hope he comes back and improves at the plate, but we’ll see how it goes. He definitely has a lot of work to do.

My nephew from Pennsylvania who played summer ball with him and now plays at Auburn (and is entering the portal along with about an expected 15 other Auburn players) had much to say about this. Let's just say that Paxton and CJJ are not exactly bosom buddies. Don't expect him to stay around.

if he stays it shouldn’t be bacause of nil

if he is collecting nil, whoever is giving him money needs to revoke that shite immediately
