We can disagree about Salem. He hit .269 as a freshman and is a .267 career hitter. He hasn't one time hit over 300. He's always struggled in SEC play. He's always struck out a ton. Truth is why Salem is struggling now is the PRO career is in his head. He's realizing that he simply isn't that good. But he should have been benched or platooned long ago. Salem is at alabama b/c of the legacy not b/c of the player he was in high school. He was a solid high school baseball player, but not SEC. Go check the offers, he wasn't offered by anyone else. Not even Auburn.
We all agree the day Bunn left and Phillips was hired was a bad day for the program.
I totally 100% agree that gaspard isn't playing the best guys. Or at least creating competition within the roster to make people get better in practice. I mean we you are constnatly running out a 181 hitter and a 220 hitter, why would anyone work to get a shot to play. Those two are in the lineup daily, and I honestly challenge anyone on the board to go look at ANY other SEC program and show me where they'd play?
Its a joke. THey need to go
