yea, no.
Where is this coming from? Gio is faster, makes better reads, and gets better jumps on the ball.

stronger OF throwing arm
I disagree strictly because I like Gio, and he's made some impressive throws from RF

and not being an automatic out vs LH pitching, yea.
Not arguing just asking a question. Do you have or can you point me in the direction of some stats that have Gio and Bianco's batting against lefties?

Got to agree with Lester on that one, the are pretty interchangeable but Bianco definitely brings certain attributes that Gio doesn’t

pop is power common man. Yes Bianco has a stronger arm but Gio has made incredibly accurate throws when needed. Not being an automatic out against LH's? Eh again Bianco was a sub 0.250 hitter last year.

faster, yea. He doesn't read or track that ball all that well.

Gio made one good throw, on a dead sprint from 30yds, about 130ft from home plate. Arm is below average.

Lefties are almost always negated against LHP. No reason to really find the hard numbers. Gio K's so much as it is, i can tell you he hits LHP very very poorly. Because he doesn't hit RHP all that well either.
Bianco routinely pinch hit last year vs LHP, tells me LSU has the splits on each and he projects favorably. In fact he came in the other night vs a LHP as well, tells me the new staff has the same info.
Regardless if you want to believe the optics of that or not, look at the MLB spilt last year and you can clearly see what i am talking about
LH hit 228/301/355 24K% vs LHP
RH hit 257/328/438 21K% vs LHP

Bianco is a bum. He plays above his head sometimes, but he is what he is. We have more than enough sample.

My standard is always what would play on LSU's good teams. Which is just about every year.
This isn't LSU's standard OF, the same way the standard is not what it should be at positions like SS and Catcher.
Who would you rank as your #10 LSU RFer of all time? Not the whole Top 10, just a #10.

outside a few weeks span last year boosting his season numbers, he's been a sub .200 hitter his entire career.

huh? where did i say he was faster. He doesn't have to be faster to be as good, or a better OF

While I'm questioning your thinking, I'll give you that - speed doesn't equate to good OFing necessarily. Just like baserunning.
That said, Gio >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bianco and that's before adding his speed in the mix.

Heading into the Arkansas series last year at the start of May, he was 9/52 with 2 HRs (both against Nicholls in February in the same game), 9 RBIs, 0 2Bs, 0 3Bs, 21 Ks, 6 BBs. His career batting average is .202 with 71 Ks in 213 ABs. He really didn't hold his own for the vast majority of last season and hasn't for most of his career. If he's "held his own," that is defined by one month in a 4 year career.

You can go a lot of ways given his relatively small sample size and lack of consistent starts.
Playing well against the best competition LSU faced last year is something that should be earmarked. You don't really know if it is sustainable or not until you give him more chances. Maybe he'll fail? Who knows. You aren't losing anything by giving him that chance.

Bianco needs to channel his inner Austin Nola and resurrect his career where he shoulda been all along.
He fell into the son-of-a-baseball-dad trap where he was clearly the best player on the field through HS and that meant he was SS primarily. It's caught up to him now.
He's either a utility and spot player from here on out or a major position change to C to see if he can develop there.

Is he ever right? I remember him defending the guy who murdered Will Smith in NOLA a few years ago.

What is Gio’s stat line against SEC pitching? You made this call out thread after playing Bethune Cookman. We have enough data to know who Gio is by now. He a .200 hitter against quality pitching. He might hit a homer and double sparingly but will strikeout and ground out more than not.

First you said he wouldn’t be on the team. Wrong.
Then you said he wouldn’t make a 35-man roster. Wrong.
Then you said he wouldn’t play come SEC. Wrong.
Now you’re saying he’s just a 0.200 hitter vs SEC pitching when he hit much better than that just last year. Wrong again.
Take a hike, Jack.

eh, he really didn't even do that. He had one good game against Oregon and one good game against Tennessee in the postseason. the remaining postseason games, he went 2/13. I know you don't want to acknowledge it, but he only had 5 multi-hit games all of last season in 32 starts. Gio already has 3 of those in just 12 starts this year. He had 8 last year in 29 starts. He had 4 in 2020 in 13 starts. he had 8 in 2019 in 33 starts. Gio isn't the best outfielder we've ever had by a longshot, but comparing him to Bianco, he's a much more consistent hitter and has been their entire careers.
