But getting to the overall point, It's possible he'll improve but by your criteria we should have kept FOrsythe as he'll be really good his Sr season. And we should keep Alford, he's got tools maybe he just needs another year to develop and some forced opportunities. You get the point.

We all know the vast majority of players with "tools" don't pan out in year 4 if they haven't by year 3. There are exceptions yes and I really hope he's one, but the odds do not seem in his favor

if we can add an OF bat we need too. Should be easier to do than finding a good 3B or pitchers
Except Forysthe and Alford have never shown the ability to hit double digit HRs with an almost .900 OPS. Hujsak has. They also had plenty of opportunities. Hujsak hasn't. So the situations aren't similar at all.

He would've been asked to look around if we didn't think he could hit at this level. Sure, he may flop. But I choose to believe he can be good. Again, my choice, not your's.

Adding a good 3B bat should be easy considering we have no one there currently.
