    The proof is there - Cann has no intention of sitting Alexander.

    If you can't see that Alexander is our best defensive option at any infield spot, then you're just clueless.

    This is the truth. Alexander is the best SS on the team. But he is far and away the best 3B on the team. So we have to play him there.

    This thread makes me a little sick to my stomach. The fact of the matter is, Gridley did not want to miss the game, but Cann is making him go to the wedding. Because, you know, your sister only gets married once (hopefully), yet Gridley will play thousands of baseball games. Glad that our coach is in touch with reality.

    YES! Exactly correct.

    This thread is the shit show of all threads!! People arguing about a players sister, arguing about what player is the best at what spot? Some of you fools need to get a life. Maybe go cut the grass or maybe go down to your local drinking hole and tell your non-friends some of the stupid shit your putting on here maybe they will think you know what your talking about cause I and most people on here know you are clueless! Hailstate lets go win the series against South Carolina.

    So we don't mind playing a lesser player at SS- the most important position on the field? Instead of lesser player at 3B?

    Got to admire the Belmont Fan Club- you guys are All-In. He'll be considered our best WR and Point Guard before too long- even though he doesn't play those either

    If the drop-off from Alexander to Stovall at SS is something like 5 defensive runs saved, and the drop-off from Alexander to Stovall at 3B is something like 10 defensive runs saved, then yes, we don't mind playing a lesser player at SS. Because despite it being 'the most important position on the field,' we are better off with Alexander at 3B and Stovall at SS.

    Again, it is pretty obvious Alexander is our best defensive option at SS. You're the one who seems so intent on trying to use every little thing as proof that you're right.

    The only thing I ever said about Alexander is that he was our best defensive option at SS and 3B and that he needed to be in the lineup. Despite his offensive struggles, Cann has refused to ever take him out of the lineup. So what does that tell you?

    No kidding. He's so damn good at SS- we're gonna play the 3rd string guy instead of him at the most important position on the field other than catcher

    Well I think Stovall is our best Catcher. And we should play Him there.

    I think its a unanimous consensus that Alexander has to be on the field somewhere every game. We only have 3 guys that can reliably play the middle infield positions and third base and Alexander is one of those. That's not a fan club mentality, that is reality. I don't know why you are trying to convince us otherwise. You need to call Cannizaro if you feel that strongly about it. Its his actions that speak loud and clear about which players need to be out there every day. And there is a good chance LA and Rooker will be the only players to start every game for us this season (barring injury).

    How can you not comprehend this? Alexander is Plus Plus at both SS and 3B. Probably a 75 at both on a scouting scale. Gridley and Stovall are a Plus at SS (60) and an average at 3B (50).

    We are a better team with a Plus at SS and 2B and a Plus Plus at 3B than simply a Plus Plus at SS and an average to below average at 3B.

    Cohen and Cannizzaro along with every scout on the planet agrees with this. As do Gridley and Stovall, and the rest of the team.

    If Austin Riley made it to campus then Alexander would be at SS, Gridley at 2B, and Stovall either C or in the outfield.

    To assist your comprehension, just like Rooker is far and away the best cleanup hitter on the team in any sense of historical baseball batting lineups. But for us... for our current team this season... right now... he is more valuable as a two-hole hitter. Like Alexander is more valuable as a 3B.

    Gridley has been, is, and will be our SS because he is the best one we have. We were never going to play Belmont at SS ahead of him- no matter who made it to campus. Thats what you guys dont seem to comprehend.
