It’s a QB rich draft, and even though they just signed Cousins, he is aging (36 when season starts). I don’t hate that you get a QB when you can, especially if you think he’s the guy. Not always the earliest QBs taken who are the best.

The problem is that one of the greatest benefits of drafting a young QB is that you save all that cash at the position, which we won’t be doing. Just hope he turns out to be the Penix I saw play against Texas, and not the Penix in the championship game. And I hope he’s better than JJ!

I trust in Tony and I really like Ensley but he is the worst hitter in the lineup on a daily basis. I know he hit the homer tonight but I just don’t understand it at all. He is now batting .250 whenever everyone else in the lineup outside of Stark is hitting .311 or better. He has been the one weak link in the lineup all season. Bargo should be in the lineup ahead of him imo.

It’s mainly because he is playing a great centerfield for the team. He also has a little equity built up from last season and its not like we really need another bat though it would be appreciated!

Agree with the defense, not quite as important as SS on d, but between him and Tears the UT outfielders can cover some serious ground

Put the best talent on the field. It’s not like Ensley was tearing it up at the end of last year. He really tailed off and it’s carried into this year. He was hitting over .300 this time last year and his average plummeted like 30 points before he finished at .280. Tony has always done right by the team by putting guys in the lineup that will produce. It will eventually sort itself out because you can’t have a guy trending towards batting in the .240s. Catcher is the only position where that is acceptable because they have so much on their plate in the field. If he can’t hit consistently then objectively he shouldn’t be in the lineup because he isn’t pulling his weight. Good will, will only carry you so far if you don’t produce.
