DH
Maybe he would have transferred anyway but why the hell that dude wasn't playing 3B for us is a complete mystery.
Not really. He had 8 errors in 21 games in the field for us. That's abysmal. We tried him at 3B and at 1B. That was on a team that already struggled in the field and defense cost us games.
Good thing there is a spot in the lineup where you can have an amazing hitter hit in every game and don't have to worry about his defense costing you and that's exactly where he played the majority of the season.
He did just fine playing 3B at National Champ LSU. Let's not forget the dude playing on the left side over him wasn't exactly a defensive wizard.
No he didn't. He had a .859 fielding % when LSU won the title last year. He was MUCH better this year, but lets not act like he was "fine", especially a season ago. If memory serves me right, that was the worst fielding percentage by a regular IF in the SEC last year.
Also, I don't dislike White like a lot of our fans do, he was so fun to watch in the box. But, facts are facts. He had a LOT of growth needed in the field. Good for him for having a nice year defensively this year
Interesting that LsU let him grow but we weren't willing to do so. I would take a few extra errors for an elite bat like TW had. Not a regular dude.
I promise you that TW did not leave NC State because Avent told him he wasn't going to play the field lol.
Thus my original comment
Which still doesn't make any sense. If TW had wanted to be in Raleigh, he would've been given every opportunity to start at 3b like he did until he hurt his shoulder.
He didn't want to be here and he wanted a bag. It's not some grand conspiracy lol.
