What better option did we have last year? If Norris had just hit like he was supposed to, it never becomes an issue. But he struggled mightily and left us scrambling to find another viable option.
Starts at 3b:
Detz - 26
Frost - 23
Norris - 20
Hann - 2
It was either -- go with Detz who is a liability with range or go with Frost who is a liability with arm strength. We just didn't have a well-rounded option. This year, I think we might(Hump)...and they say Detz has gotten better now that he's adjusted to the position, but we'll wait and see on that one...

Well after Norris was no longer an option I personally would have played Detz there consistently unless he just needed a break. It wasn't just Frost's arm strength it was also his accuracy. Frost consistently threw the ball away from 3rd for the 2 years he played over there. Yes, he had more range but it was not enough difference when he couldn't make normal throws that 3rd basemen have to make. The only time it was an advantage having him there was on bunts OR balls he cut off between 3rd and SS. And that's because on those plays he could use his quickness combined with the fact that in those situations the throw to first is significantly shorter. I'm just thankful Detz was over there at 3rd on the last out at Virginia or we many never have seen the CWS.
