Lineup for remainder of season

[CajunT]

Another example of what I’m talking about is Lott. Last year, every chance he got was with the pine right up his butt. Can’t produce like that. This year, he has stayed in the DH role and is now producing.

He's getting hits, just not driving in RBI's. He was hitting .200 with RISP before Saturday's game. How is he getting the job done when he's not driving in runs in his position of the batting order? This is where people that look at some stats like batting avg, but ignore OBP and RISP miss it entirely.

Lock's stats while at LSU

Played in 12 games (10 starts at third base) in 2016 at LSU before suffering a back injury that forced him to miss the 2017 season … Hit .229 (8-for-35) with three doubles, two homers, 10 runs and 10 RBI … Homered and collected two RBI in Feb. 21 win versus Cincinnati … Blasted a three-run homer at Lamar (Feb. 24) … Scored twice and drove in two runs versus Fordham (March 5).

I'd say not bad for 12 games

Let's see what he does now that the opportunity is his, he looked bad this weekend. Much like he did the first two weeks of the season.

Well, no matter how you spin it he has a body of work and that gives him the benefit of doubt. Outside the occasional rest which I will entertain for the sake of argument, the discussion of sitting the best player on the team because he was struggling makes very little sense and is a ridiculous argument considering the rest of the team wasn't hitting either.

Understand, Cantrelle should take every opportunity granted unto him to succeed and I’m happy he has even though he has been given twice or three times the opportunity than anyone else on the team. My point is, to judge the rest against him when all of their opportunities have been with the pine riding their butts and with him knowing he would be trotted out there no matter how bad the fail is BS.

Change my mind.

1. Cantrelle - SS
2. Breaux - CF
3. Lott - 1B
4. Toro - DH
5. Kasuls - 2B
6. Veillon - RF
7. Dupuy - 3B
8. McKinnon - C
9. Hannie - LF

THIS!

But it’s at least the start to a potential turnaround at the plate, where Cantrelle feels he’ll be much better over the long haul because of the experience he gained both last spring at UL and while playing in the summer for Falmouth of the highly regarded Cape Cod League.

Cantrelle hit only .174 in 86 at-bats over 32 regular-season games for Falmouth, but he finished 2.86 (4 for 14) in four playoff games.

Toro and kasuls are injured. Lochridge at 3rd. Frank played LF well on Saturday

Look at the stats of the 5 players who played LF this year. Batting average, On base percentage, Fielding percentage.... the choice is clear who should be playing LF. It ain’t Frank.

I agree. Like I said I think he should get the same consideration without having to be benched for not ‘hitting’ at this time

Well, here's the problem with your last sentence in this paragraph. Neither you, nor I attend practices and know what is going on daily. So it may very well be that haven't earned the opportunity to get on the field in practice by earning it and not by default.

Pony up your choice. I have no idea

He was and will he trotted out there every game every inning as long as he is on the Cajuns team. It has nothing to do with game performance, practice performance or what he did or did not do at the Cape. It is what it is, but let’s call it what it is.
