Elite speed and defense at a premier defensive position to go along with above average hitting. Pretty solid 9 hole while one of your most proven left handed bats is in a slump.
And you're only afforded that luxury because you managed to get a top 10 HS recruit, who you've been recruiting for a decade, to campus, all while developing your other outfield bats.

Curiel plenty capable. Stanfield showed he struggles tracking balls when running back. Not even close to catching that one last night. Missed it by a foot with his glove.

This is basically a confession he’s not very good. Larson has real upside with the bat.

I agree Curiel is better and should be playing CF

You havent paid attention much then, he stretched what should have been a double into a triple and it was very impressive. Because they arent trying to swipe a bag with him every game doesnt mean he isnt the fastest player on the team, theyve said he is multiple times. Also why he plays CF. He's ran down a number of balls that would be tough to get to making diving catches this year.

This literally has happened once and it was a little windy to start last night.

He hit .276-.281 in 2 years starting at Auburn, thats not debatable.

So Milam isnt good either because he gets thrown in the 6-8 hole at times?
Why are you trying to take a premium defensive player hitting .333 with a.469 OBP and has hit plenty of SEC pitching in the past out of the lineup exactly?

Sure I have. His speed is overrated

I think Curiel could get to these

That’s not great. Hits the ball in the air too much. My point is Larson is a better bat.

You answered your own question. If the coach puts 5-6 hitters over you then it means you’re not top 5-6 in his eyes. So this team had better rake to prove they’re loaded.
Schimpf was a good 9-hole hitter but that was on a national championship team with multiple 1st Round picks in the batting order

You're wrong.
quote:

Maybe he could, but again Stanfield is the fastest player on the team, is hitting well and getting on base, replacing him and putting a significantly worse outfielder out there currently struggling at the plate in Larson would be a stupid move. Larson has had 1 hit (A single) since the very first series of this season. He is struggling and looking plain bad at the plate recently, on top of that, is one of the worst defensive outfielders we have...and you'd rather see him out there than Stanfield. Pretty laughable right now. Taking our not struggling at the plate best defensive outfielder (in Jay's eye, since he starts pretty much every game in CF) and replacing them with a guy who has 1 hit in the last like 9 games and is significantly way worse an outfielder is pretty hilarious. Thank God you arent the coach.

You literally replied to someone saying he's an above average hitter, .276-.281 is pretty much the definition of that, and as we saw with Braswell, could improve from he came from on their previous team.

Again, a pretty dumb assertion. But nothing shocking coming from you.

quote:Do you know that there are things guys can do with speed besides steal bases? He's scored from 2nd on balls that haven't left the infield. Stretched errors from 1st to 3rd on plays where 99% of guys aren't even thinking of going past 2nd, scored from 2nd every single time the ball has entered the outfield. Shockingly, you're wrong.

quote:Stanfield didn't grab a ball by about 12 inches while running straight back with the wind carrying the ball, while turning over his shoulder, and now his defense is discounted. Got it. We're just going to ignore the plethora of plays he's made this season. shite, he's made better plays in center in 10 games than any of our center fielders have made in entire seasons.

Also hilarious that you spawned this argument by insulting Larson, then when I pushed back on that stupid post propping up another player, you had to use Larson's potential and ability to bring that other player down.
It's honestly pathetic how bad you are at this.

Shocking that his spot in the order didn't dictate his ability to hit the baseball.
Even when you try and use data to make a point, you do the opposite. Truly incredible.

I disagree. Negligible difference on defense, but what I think would definitely be better is if we get Larson up to speed. I think he'll hit for same or better average than Stanfield AND give you some pop which Chris is far less likely to do

Yep. Good hitters hit in the top 4-5, it doesn't matter if you do a handstand while swinging

That's not data based lol. It's just a fact that Ryan batted 9th in a loaded order with multiple 1st Rounders in it
This team is not that. If Milam was a great hitter he'd be higher in this order. Period.
