this is false. He hit 0.270 just in the post season and it was only because of two games out of the 8 he played.

He might hit a homer and double sparingly but will strikeout and ground out more than not.
Gio probably has had more deep fly outs than ground outs this year TBH. And he strikes out exactly 20% of the time (12 Ks in 60 PAs), which is about average on our team. The only guy on the team who plays a lot who's struck out at a really high rate this year has been McManus with 18 Ks in 57 PAs.

Bianco has always been a spot starter. It's impossible not to cherry pick data if you want to get a true representation of the hitter he's been on average. You remove those two postseason games, his batting average drops from.246 to .218. So to say "he's held his own" based on essentially two fricking games is just hilarious, not that hitting .246 is holding his own in the first place.

Im sorry, I was .12pts off of his batting average
.258/400/452 from SEC play thru the postseason. last year

He was 13-52 in sec play 0.250. He was 7 for 24 in post season. 0.291… he had a 2 for 4 game and a 3 for 4 game out of the 8 post season games. He struck out a ton.

Gio with a cool 1-11 on a weekend LSU scores 29 runs

lets keep in mind the SEC league average OPS last year was +/- .720 or so
So yea, he kind of held his own being at .850 during those games.
Also, batting average does not define production anymore. I thought we were way past that, but apparently not. Youre the 2nd person today to pretend that holds water.

I mean if Gio proves to be the best option and they have to circle back to him, so be it. But as of now, that spot is screaming to experiment with other guys to see what you have.

I have never in my life seen someone go to such depths white knighting for a guy with a career slash line of .193/.343/.360 and let his entire opinion be swayed based off the production of a few games. His entire slash line in this period of time you're selecting increased dramatically in two games, one against Oregon and one against Tennessee.

Bianco definitely brings certain attributes that Gio doesn’t
such as?
He’s right handed, and we have been scratching for another RHed bat.
Now this weekend two things happened that hurt Bianco’s status.
Jobert hit LHed pitching and Trevinski hit two homers.
But Gio isn’t home free. He didn’t tear it up. Berry seems rooted at third right now giving Gio RF got now. But he needs to produce to keep it.

If Drew showed any kind of production in '19, '20, or more than 3 weeks in '21 I'd have a different approach to this discussion.

I think the experimenting is done and it is Gio. The only complaint I have ever had with Gio is he strikes out way too much for his skill set. He has been better with that this year and I have no problem with him being out there. His ab have been good with the exception of a few. Even when he is getting out or striking out I can think of multiple games where he fought pitches off and battled and just got beat. It happens.
Bianco I am not a fan of. He has some bad looking at bats more time than good. He did get on a little streak at the end of last season but its no better than the streaks that Gio gets on. I like Gio out in the field over Bianco also.
Merrifield will not go to RF. He will be put at 3B and Berry back in RF if they decide to experiment with Merrifield. I think Pearson and Stevenson are both a year away.
All that with saying my opinion is Gio is your best option and you ride him out this season unless he really starts to struggle at the plate.

I’m not white knighting at all. I’ve studied baseball statistics & patterns for almost 20 years now. I’m simply saying that based on what he did last year, he is worth exploring to see if there is something to that production, given that no one has locked down that position. Nothing more, nothing less.
With the development of hitting tools, players, now more than ever, are prone to over night fixes that make them more productive hitters. A hot streak, many of times, can just be that; a hot streak. Sometimes there is more to it, though. It’s simply worth exploring

Patterns are developed over sample size. When the body of work is comprised of a cluster of sporadic sample sizes, there is inconsistent data.
The fact that Bianco's largest sample size involving consistent playing time yielded good results makes it worth exploring.
Cmon man, you are supposed to be a scout i thought
