I'm not sure why he would unless they just want to get Travinski on 1B





Is Travinski even coming back?

For context, Mac Bingham produced slightly better than Antoine Duplantis’ best season at LSU. Bingham improves this roster, and that’s really all an LSU fan should need to hear.

like Pearson. But we will need more production from the “bottom of the lineup” which included Pearson


Did you not watch the last month of the season?

Did the board know this guy was in the portal? Had there been any talk of him transferring to LSU?

Pearson was 3rd on the team in OBP in SEC games, behind Crews & travinski (who had significantly less plate appearances). Ended up t15th in the whole conference in OBP% at .434 But ya what a bum. Played really good defense too. Understand value, or don’t


All this. Many people just look at BA and that really doesn’t tell you all that much. People did the same with Milazzo. Pearson hit in the 240s but with good power #s and a lot of BBs. Milazzo hit 290 with absolutely no power (all hits were singles except 1 double) and not many walks.

Imagine people being this upset cause I asked why a guy who didn’t hit for shite this past year is just penciled in as a starter with no competition for his spot.

Do you watch games? Maybe the down votes are because you say stupid things. He had a slump, but can hit. I seeent it. So did Crews by the way. They are human.

He made a great play against Florida and potentially saved the game, but he is not great OF. He improved from freshman to sophomore years, but still had a lot of room for improvement.

Sportscenter top 10 catch playing summerball yesterday.

Why make your statement? He was good defensively. He made a number of good plays throughout the year; not just one. What fielding mistakes did he make?

Do you not realize his play in the outfield making that leaping catch saved the season?

I like Pearson. I think he has great upside, and he was damn good last season. But the fact that he made one great play has no bearing on the discussion.

I’d bet Pearson is an everyday starter next season, but thief is correct in that he is NOT an automatic starter. He is also correct in that, if Pearson hits like he did last season, this board will overwhelmingly call for him to be benched…but he won’t.

I do think Pearson is a very good outfielder. He makes the plays he’s supposed to make and he has the speed to get great coverage out there.

He made an error. That doesn’t make him stupid. Very intelligent people could make the same mistake.

Honestly at this point, no one other than White can be considered an everyday starter.

Automatic…you mean. Yes, that’s true. What I wrote is that “I’d bet” he would start. Wouldn’t you?
