Bingham Milazzo White Travinski Jones Could be a potent lineup
Milazzo -> White could at least set the record for most double plays in a season.

There is no room for Milazo.
There was room for him in Omaha tho? Get Kling out of there. Put Frey or Larson in the OF, and let your DH (Trav) focus on hitting. Common sense. Jay sometimes has trouble keeping it simple

I was one of Milazzo's sharpest critics during his first year. My view then was that he was a very fine defensive catcher but was not SEC quality at the plate.
I have shifted my thinking after watching him the past two seasons, and I have to give Milazzo credit. He definitely is not a power hitter, but he has worked on his batting and has learned to work within his abilities to be a credible threat at the plate. By "credible threat" I don't mean that he is going to hit a bunch of extra base hits, but he finds a way to get on base. Having a singles hitter in the lineup who is also a strong defensive player means that we'll get some run production out of him, either when he hits a single with runners in scoring position--in the SEC games we are currently hitting .186 with runners in scoring position--or when he gets on base and comes in when one of our power hitters hits an extra-base hit. It strikes me that he is a potential solution to our problems of leaving too many runners in scoring position and hitting too many solo homeruns.

8-0 when Milazzo starts. He's gotta get at least 1 game a weekend if not 2 until that 0 changes.

He would be on a differently constructed team. He's turned into a nice hitter the past 2 seasons, when he was previously pretty much an auto out. But he is a singles only hitter, and this team needs guys that can slug. Obviously at some point, a single is better than a strike out, but Jay's hoping somebody like Neal or Frey that can leave the yard or hit it off the wall for a double occasionally will eventually figure it out
Catcher is the one spot in the line up where you sacrifice any offense for defense and managing the game and receiving pitches. A decent BA and OBP is a luxury. There's 8 other guys that need to come through. I would bat Milazzo last so he's on base for the top of the line up. Let White or Jones score him.
Milazzo hitting singles or drawing BB is what he needs to do and in the overall scheme, having a guy on the bases often is worth more than having an occasional double.

The problem with Braswell is not at the plate. He is a liability in the field. I don't know who else to put there but he is definitely not a good SS defensively.

Millazzo leading the team!

That is spectacular, yet some people on this board ask if we should try Guidry out at SS.
I think the .927% fielding percentage is the issue more than OBP for Braswell. He’s leading the league in errors.

I could easily see Braswell and Milam swapped.

Well I didn't forsee the first loss being against Southern.

Neal and Kling are complete whiffs by Johnson.
