He is solid, but stud may be a bit of a reach.

his defense has always been pretty solid, and now his bat is pretty hot.

it's a good problem to have as a coach IMO

the starting 3B job was is from day one this season and he let hanover take it from him .. helinihi wasn't hitting at the beginning of the season and was struggling a little defensively .. hanover was lights out until the mississippi state series when he fricked up that sure double play that would have ended the bottom of the ninth in the game we wound up losing a few batters later ... he really hasn't been the same since ... his error against baylor in the bottom of the 8th was huge and caused that game to go into extra innings .. also, and it wasn't his fault, but the throw that went over his head in the rundown on friday night would have prolly hit helinihi in the chest ... just good to see helinihi making the most of his chances because i think defensively, the late season pressure is starting to get to hanover ..

He is not a stud, DJ is a stud. DJ has an unreal arm he is a major league infielder, Helenihi's arm is not that good.

I think Helenihi will be playing the rest of this year but TH has 3 more years to produce and I think that he will be really good. I also think that TH will still have the opportunity to pinch hit.

I love Helenihi but he is not even close to having the second best arm on the team.

he may not have the second best arm on the team, but derek DOES have a good arm and can get the job done.

he also has one of the sweetest swings on the team.

DJ's arm is good.

but as we've seen this past weekend, his defense catching the ball is what gets shite done in the infield.

DJ has a hose for an arm, I am not just saying this it is scouts and also opposing coaches.

Hele------Knee Hee

I think the guy was a great spark and should stay in as long as he's hot. I'd like to see hanover get in late if we're putting someone away.

You're an idiot. DJ's arm is very average. Do you remember him playing shortstop? You must not, he couldn't make a throw from the hole. This is why he will be a second baseman in the pro's.

Selfish, really an idiot, I see your an internet tough guy, I was just stating my opinion, and the opinion of other people in baseball.

no, his arm is very strong, he just has slow release.
