    Will it even matter? Did we think he was going to make a difference next year? Good for him he was able to get a deal done. Good luck Paul!

    I'm still amazed at the roster situation in which we kept Paul Young and cut Luke Reynolds. Oh well, Bigfoot is gone now.

    At least we can stop hearing about him. Most talked about pitcher who pitched a total of 6 innings in two years.

    Yep, and those 6 innings were nothing to write home about.

    Reminds me of that Dixon guy that Cohen signed his first or second year. We heard about his potential for 2 or 3 years, and he barely sniffed the field.

    So you can't cut a player that is not a walk on?

    It's because of the roster rules. If you are on scholarship you have to count towards the 35 man roster. I believe 27 have to be on some form of scholarship so we can only carry 8 walk-ons. So if you cut someone on scholarship you essentially lose a roster spot.

    Just another reason college coaches hate the NCAA rules in baseball.

    Not to belabor the point but I guess I'm curious now, did we actually have 8 walk-ons on the roster this year? If so, we had 8 walk-ons that got spots ahead of Reynolds? Does a guy on an academic scholarship or some other non-athletic aid still count as a walk-on?

    Neither were on scholarship last year. Hell Dakota wasn't on scholarship last year.

    Yes a guy in just academic counts as a walk on. Only the 27 on baseball aid have "secure spots" when the fall starts.

    Probably see him in 6 years and think to ourselves, now here's a guy who couldn't pitch for us at the time and now throwing in the All-Star game. That's baseball.
