agreed, I'll take the guy who has a BA greater than half his .919 fielding percentage than a player who hits one third of his .999 fielding percentage.

Thank you because everyone thinks its just about his errors. Even though his .919 fielding percentage ranks at the bottom of all outfielder's in the sec. Add that with everything you said above and there's your reason for letting him DH
so you want the best hitter on the team to change positions 3/4 of the way through the season while hes hitting .500?

I am not saying I would DH him, just stating that his fielding numbers would be even worse when taking everything into account. The bench is very thin, if there was someone on it that PM thought would be doing a better job he would be playing LF and hitting. Losing Sciambra hurt as Fields could be playing one of the corner spots now.

So far this year he has had 5 errors. If you take off 5 of his hits and he is 65/140 he is batting .464 which freaking awesome. His fielding will get better but even if it doesn't his batting more than makes up for it.

WOW this is dumb logic. If we have men on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs and he misses a flyball that's 2 runs and the inning continues. The error is the worse play in baseball and a couple base hits can't make up for a loss game. You can have 10 hits in a game and still only score 1 run just ask LSU baseball. errors in the outfield have cost us a few games.

quote:Consider how many games Rhymes' batting has kept LSU in or allowed LSU to win. Moving him to DH could have terrible effects on his hitting. It seems simple but apparently demands repitition: You don't screw with someone while they are hot. Consider this and re-evaluate your premise.

Wait, you won't. You would rather continue the most nonsensical debate in LSU sporting history since people wanted to bench Shaq because he missed free-throws.

If Rhymes has runners on second and third he is batting .547.
And last time I checked neither one is recorded as an out. Can you please explain the logic. I get on base with a hit, vs. you get on base with a error? How is the error more devastating?

Dont ruin a guy hitting 500 just because he gave someone 1 extra base here and there.
I am not agreeing with the OP but some of his mistakes I can't understand. Things like throwing to the wrong base is not acceptable at any level.

He should move raph to 2nd IMO

I think everyone needs to quit worrying about Raph and worry about Jones.Everytime Jones struck out this weekend he moped back to the dugout with his head down and didn't hustle on to the field.CPM benched Jones cause he was pouting and acting like a baby.CPM or somebody needs to put a foot up Jones' arse.He should be benched until his attitude changes.
Maybe if we had a hitting coach they could convince Jones he is moving all around and is completely off balance when he swings.Plus he pulls his head and doesn't watch the ball all the way.Its a wonder he ever hits the ball.
And anybody who advocates using Raph just as a DH doesn't know baseball, even if they did coach little league.

This might be the most retarted thing ever posted on here
1. What the frick does this have to do, with anything???
2. If he really dropped 1 out of every 10 fly balls he would be the worst fielder EVER in college, outfield errors aren't guys dropping fly balls out of their gloves, that happens like once a season maybe

Look at how many runs he has created hitting versus how many he has allowed by way of error.

Uh, no.
When you're hitting .500 2/3 of the way thru a full season, a .919 fielding pct is absolutely acceptable. That 2/4 (out of the 4 hole, which means he's also driving in runs) far outweighs that error in every 10 chances.
