re: Have you ever seen anything like Stevenson continuing to start?

Call me crazy, but I see Stevenson with more upside at the plate than Laird. Laird's destined to be a weak slap hitter / hustle guy ... and that ain't bad with his speed. Heck, David Eckstein made a nice paycheck with that approach.
But, Stevenson seems to go through periods where he gets much harder hits on the ball, and seems to have zero luck, hitting them right at the opposition a good bit. Of course, at other times he looks completely lost and goes down with a whimper.

He hit over .250 on the year but I just wanted to look up his CWS average for info sake and found this
But he could play a damn good 3rd base

He hit some hard slumps that year.

Who would have thought that Jones, Laird, and Ross would be carrying us in the post season, at the plate???? Our bigs have been a no-show, whether its the pressure, or being too aggressive.

I said it last week: LSU's record is nothing short of amazing considering they have 8 hitters in their lineup vs the other team's 9. It's like a NL team with the pitcher in the batting order going 57-10 against AL teams using a DH.

Yeah when your 1,3,4,5, and 6 hitters are batting like .107 the other have to pick up some slack and they have been doing pretty well at that. Hopefully they can all get it going for Tuesday and keep it going.

It's not amazing. It's simple. You can sacrifice a little O for some D when the rest of your lineup is as good as ours is.

Teams get hot and cold. We just need a couple of guys to catch on.

At the college level, .250 is "sacrificing a little O for some D".
.190 is pretty much an automatic out.

Don't go throwing that kind of talk around. People might start thinking there is more to baseball than batting averages.

Just counting the regionals and supers, Stevenson's On Base % was 5th among the regular starters at .389

Only Rhymes, Laird, Bregman, and Jones were better. Alex Edward was too but he's not a regular.

Bear in mind, we're also "sacrificing a little O for some D" by having Ross in the lineup.
How many spots do you want to give up for defensive purposes? Especially when Laird in CF and Foster in RF is just as good a defensive lineup (maybe better, given Foster's arm) AND you get a boost to the batting order?

Come on, man.
got 2 meaningless hits at the end of the OU blowout
you don't have to know a single thing about baseball to watch LSU & see that the poor kid is totally overmatched. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but it's still true.
Would you want him up in a clutch situation before any other starter?
Of course not...& you wouldn't want him up before any other legitimate bench guys either.
Again, we're talking .190 w/ a .288 obp

The difference in the batting between Foster and Stevenson is not enough to sacrifice the amazing D that Stevenson provides. That sums it up and is exactly what Paul Mainieri is thinking.

ETA: I would not have a problem at all starting Foster over Stevenson. I just can see where Mainieri is coming from by starting Stevenson and I'm ok with that.
