    I have a longer leash with hitters than most, but we are rapidly approaching the limit to "let him play through it ".

    Alford should be the guy. Just hasnt. Not trying to be overly negative but it just kinda personifies our problems we have had, looks good but for one reason or the other not up to the standard

    Alford'a fielding percentage as of the other day was .760.

    You aren't going to play for Lemonis if you can't complete a defensive play 1 out of every 4 chances.

    At 3B that's a guaranteed error once a game.

    I would really love to see Hujsak get a chance at third. He's played SS for the last 3 years and wasn't great defensively but heck it really can't be much worse than Alford and Mershon have been and the guy seems to make a play everytime we use him. He's got tons of power and speed. Give him a shot.

    Absolutely. I'd love to get his bat in the lineup.

    Yeah I know conference play is here, but Hujsak needs a chance at 3B. He had a bunch of errors at VCU, but like CC said, it can't get much worse. But he's gonna hit, which Alford isn't doing

    Yeah we're getting an error a game at 3B anyways might as well put a guy in there that can hit and run.

    ETA and for a guy that has been a starter his whole career and has 20 hrs and 26 sbs, he hasn't pouted and seems to have a great attitude and energy and just makes plays when we use him(hits, hrs, sb, threw out runner at the plate). I love the fact he's seems like a cheerleader when he's not playing and he's ready to go every time we need him.

    The first two can't play a better third or even close to Alford. Mershon has had his struggles as well. I'm sure Mershon will get some time there though.

    No matter how much loyalty you have, you have to reward this with PT. He's forcing your hand at this point.

    How do you pronounce his name?

    It looks like it would be pronounced huge sack and that would have to go on an all names list.

    Mershon has been booting the ball around too so there's that......

    One of them has to do one or the other well. You cant play someone who is bad at both. I like Mershon a lot I think he is a gamer. Cody brown type

    Alford is very talented and could be huge help for us but he's gotta start getting it together.

    This may be the coldest weather Jurrangelo has ever been in his life
