    Mahoney-zero role on this team

    Just remember we had our lowest team gpa in 10 years and multiple other problems. So it's expected that we will have high turnover.
    That is understandable. It sucks being a fan of a team and then making it only to find out you aren't good enough to play at that level. Who knows if he would have been able to redshirt if that changes things but he really should have never been on the field this year.

    Heard you can add Reed Smith also. Don't have a clue why.


    Ahh... See there is already a thread up on him.

    Well he might just be better suited at a lower level then. He is a great athlete but that doesn't mean he can hit SEC level pitching.

    If Blaylock quits, then it's an unwise move...he is a developmental prospect and he was given opportunities to play

    Look at Rooker's progression from Red-Shirt to his Junior year, a totally different player. Same for Arkansas' Spanberger. The Arkansas kid was horrible for 2 years, good for 1/2 a year, and then became Barry Bonds for 1/2 a year.

    Year-by-Year for Spanberger

    2015 - hit 0.252 with 0-HRs with 30% K
    2016 - hit 0.225 with 6-HRs with 40% K
    2017 - hit 0.305 with 20-HRs with 27% k

    I think he could have if he had waited his turn. But I've also heard he hurt his arm too so that's more likely why he left.

    Not his arm at all. He's in perfect condition. Just has higher aspirations and not getting chances to get at bats in won't get him there. He still had a scholly and opportunity to return but obviously walked away for an opportunity to get at bats daily. Playing everyday in summer all so my guess would be the arm is not an issue.

    Then that was obviously speculation probably since we had him pitching. By going JUCO he can also possibly go pro next year with a good year.
