    I think they are actually pretty interchangeable. They both do things that 1 and 2 hole hitters do. Don't strike out, put the ball in play, can go opposite field for a H&R, high OBP, good speed. When they are on, there isn't a more dangerous 1-2 combo in the SEC.

    At first I wasn't sure about Robson in the 2 hole, but now I agree. Cohen is going to be tempted to bunt or hit and run whoever is in the 2 hole between those two when the first one reaches....so I would rather him take the bat out of Robson's hands than Mangum's. Only because Mangum doesn't rely on so many infield singles, and has seemed pretty clutch. Plus, Robson is a good bunter for the most part.

    I was thinking along these lines as well. Ton of options with Robson in the two hole that puts pressure on the defense..bunt, bunt for hit, fake bunt and slash, hit and run, swing away. And I realize there's not much difference between one and two hitters as far as plate appearances but nobody needs more opportunities at the plate than Mangum.
