    Because he is a singles hitter that average climbed because he had limited AB's.

If you can replace him with a quality player you do it- Foreskin is a late inning replacement- not an SEC SS

    Leggs had a lower average but had a bigger impact offensively on limited AB's.

    We could have used a few more singles hitters this year. This is a terrible take.

    Too funny. We were 4th in the SEC in runs scored. We were fine offensively other than having some people on the bottom to drive in runs.

    We were last in the SEC in Runs allowed.
    We were last in the SEC in hits allowed
    We were 13th in the SEC in walks allowed

    The fact that we were always behind and needing runs has really warped some peoples understanding of the offense this year.

    Great example - we lost 12 games by 2 runs or less. In 8 of those we scored 5 or more runs. That's a whole lot of production wasted by bad pitching.

    Clearly pitching was the issue with this year. Every team's hitting can be improved as D. Only the really good teams have great pitching which is also why we won it last year, plain and simple.
