Definitely, Jay has no idea what’s he’s doing. He needs to be fired. The rant knows what to do.

He’s supposedly an outstanding defensive first baseman.

His size, and because of it, and possible lack of quickness, nimbleness and speed…will it eventually cost us in a big game? I’m thinking about some of the plays Tre’ Morgan made to secure victories. Should Yorke be used as the DH and allow more speed at 1st?

Now compare him to Jones last year. Not particularly fast, quick or nimble. And we won a natty.

Have another DV, Skippy. I was 130. I wish I could DV this more. What an assclown.

People have a bad enough opinion of Lafayette on this board already; you should quit posting before you make it worse.

Comparing any 1B to Tre Morgan is a retarded argument.

That’s a retarded answer. He didn’t compare Morgan to Yorke. His concern, justified or not, is that Yorke might not be able to make defensive plays at first.

ETA: I kept thinking Arambide was scrawny, until I realized it was just because he was following Yorke in the lineup.

He’s proven (in his first 3 years of college) he’s more than capable of playing the position

Yea, we must be losing at least 3 triples bc of him...
And have you ever played baseball? Fat guy that rakes, first base. Fat guy that doesn't goes to the mound.

But again, anyone attempting to compare any 1B to Tre Morgan is just dumb.

Jones was damn good on picks last season. Damn good range. Damn good fielding. And he gave you pop. Jones is a typical MLB First baseman.

This is the epitome of a negatiger. Go looking for a fault regardless of what this guy brings to the program. What a sad world to live in.

No he won't make a ridiculous flying in play to save a run like Morgan did, Morgan is a 1 in 1000 college first baseman defensively. Yorke is just fine though

First basemen who play like Morgan are unicorns


Yeah, because teams typically throw Morgan's in the OF and put the Yorke's at first base.
