In his pinch hit opportunities, all he does is hit the ball hard. He deserves a shot to be in the lineup and get a full game in.


I get what you’re saying but this lineup is loaded. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Big John maybe starting in a midweek role.

Apples and oranges bro….
-Pearson offers tons of power potential
-Curiel offers average, OBP, speed, defense etc

For 1 year… what happens when you’re nearly 21 and a freshman.

Braswell is good for a post-8th inning glove and that’s about it.


Braswell was probably our most clutch bat last year down the stretch aside from Milam. Also, his glove wasn’t stellar last year, so I don’t think you could be more wrong.

He has done everything he can with the ABs he has had. 4 for 7 now puts the ball in play on almost every at bat.

Incorrect, Dylan crews was a 5 tool player. Curiel has 0 power and that’s 1 of the 5 tools. Also doesn’t have that great of an arm. Amazing player but not a 5 tool player or he wouldn’t be on campus

Correct, let him keep doing what he is doing. Whoever is having an off day that’s who he should hit for.

Potential is great and Dylan realized all of his. I’d still take production everyday. Dylan had both, but I would never down a guy like Curiel if he keeps producing like this. He is also kind of physically thin and hasn’t filled out his frame yet. His power and arm strength can definitely improve.
