In recent memory, MSU has played catchers at 3B with no significant prep. Marshall Gilbert was a Super Regional and Omaha guy at 3B. Gavin Collins did not make Omaha, but played a nice 3B in 2016 - into the tragic Arizona Super Regional. Collins was the 3B on a National Champion caliber team.
This past year, I bet Hancock could have played 3B and Huksak at 1B. Upgrades in two fielding positions and one better bat.
I get it though, Alford looks like Tarzan and the coaches were hoping his pedigree would eventually kick-in. MSU certainly invested in Alford. Even UGA thinks he has something to offer.
I just meant I agreed we had to let alford go. Even if that means collateral damage
