Hann I can understand because he was just a true freshman adjusting to a new level of play.
Two reasons:

1. We already had two left handed hitting options in Detz and Frost playing third base. Britton would not have been an offensive upgrade over either. Britton is more of a middle infielder- he would have been just as out of position as the others.

2. His offense in practice at least didn't start to pick up until late in the year.
