I mean, that'll probably be the case but he's not beating Highfill out.Quote:

He'll be a solid backup though.

I'm not as high on Highfill as most but no way he loses his job short of injury.

Plus he is a magna cum laude grad. So there is that.

Or, just hit bombs and up that OPS .300 pts. He's never been a great hitter. Wasn't in HS. It's a legitimate concern. I think he can do those things, just not next season. I think he's two years away from being very good. And really, that was the plan until he had to play this year.Quote:

We get a walk on, people want to bench a marquee recruit and performance freshman. Times are hard.Quote:
