1) He's one of our best hitters in SEC play.

2) He's on pace for 14 errors this year. For reference Josh Smith made 12 his last year with the team and was widely considered one of the best SS in the SEC.

3) He's probably turned more double plays this year than JT did in 3 years as a starter.

Not sure why people look at this team and think that Braswell at short is a/the problem.

I'm not for taking his bat out of the lineup just moving him to 2nd to see if we get stronger defensively

He already has 9 errors and there and he has been gifted a couple ruled hits. Smith having only 12 errors is good thing.

You're wrong. JT had way more DPs than you either remember or giving him credit. Arm strength and range are not comparable either.

It is problem when weak grounders get through, he lobs a ball across that gets beat out or he boots a ball that prolongs an inning and we end up giving up 3 or 4 with two outs.
