I don’t understand why Chad Fairey is still in the lineup


Feb 23, 2020, 2:04 PM

Haven’t seen him doing anything productive in his career so far. Strikes out all the time and makes errors at 1B.

Maybe it's because his dad played for the Tigers?

Sorta like Will Spiers punting for Dabo...They have a guy on roster from Greenville (Matthew Lumsden) that has the ability to play first and hit it a mile who redshirted last year. There are other options available is all I know.

His dad, Clint, played at Western Carolina for Leggett

Chad's uncle, Burke, played baseball at Clemson from 1985-88; hit .291 in 121 career games … his grandfather, Jim, played six MLB seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers (1968,73) and Montreal Expos (1969-72). His grandparent's currently live in Clemson.

Apparently he crushes the ball in scrimmages and practice, because Monte raves about him. He got hot for the last 13 or so games last year, but other than that he’s been unproductive.

He ended last season on a tear and has the frame/swing to be a double digit home run guy if/when he gets it going. Maybe the coaches just don't want to bail on him after 7 games. You'll probably continue to see Brewer get innings at 1B, Bryar Hawkins, etc.

It’s like this. If we’re going to be good this year we’re going to need his bat. We saw what he could do at the end of last year. Don’t forget that he started 0 for 20 something last year. We’ve seen this before. These are the games we can afford to let him get his swings in but I doubt you’ll see him in the lineup Friday for South Carolina unless he tears it up in the midweek game if he gets that opportunity

He's batting .000

0 for 12. Needs some success to build confidence.

Do people realize him, majkowski and Hawkins don’t have a hit yet. It’s kind of embarrassing

I don't feel embarrassed at all .

And I double checked ;)
