Highfill hit the portal and McPh and Burns announced they are staying. Now waiting to hear from Foster
And I'd expect more VERY good news shortly too
Yep. Our middle infield and starting rotation are about to get better.Quote:

The entire lineup may all bat over 300 this next season
I don't like talking bad about players but I couldn't watch another highfill at bat anymore and he was a passed ball waiting to happen! Happy about Mcpherson and Burns, we needed both to stay and I understand we have some more help on the way!
A wave of Va transfers just dropped
Thats great but I would rather have a bunch of 275 hitters who know how to hit when there is a man on 2nd and 3rd with no outs than a hitter who hits a single HR once in awhile. Face it we sucked with men in scoring positions/Quote:

This lineup will be a gauntlet.
edit: some 2 out hitting is just luck of the ball having eyes. But I agree, we need contact hitters with runners in scoring position.
The BOOMS just keep hitting. It's like D-Day around here!
My problem with him was it never seemed like he was serious out there. I felt like I was watching a really big Little Leaguer.Quote:

He won?t play. He?ll be a pinch hitter. Need to move on.
If this goes the way I think it will, Chance is in a tuff spot.
Probably depends a lot on what happens with Ford. He isn't on the same planet as Ford but at least he is a solid player that can be productive.Quote:

Beans coming back depends on the draft. Nobody is drafting him with that terrible arm. Frei is going to be the one to watch. We soooooo want him to return. If he does- he will start. We will also add quality OF'ers that are really OF'ers to our team.
I dont think Sullly gets drafted but it is possible. I would fire my scouts if they convinced me to draft Beans
Leave it to you to tear down a kid who busts his ass for this program every damn year. We know his arm is limited, but leave the kid alone. Think of your own son when posting nonsenseQuote:

Who is Beans? I thought Chance was Trout?
I called him Trout because of the way people built him up relative to what he really was.Quote:

We need a nickname index stickied at the top of the board.Quote:

I think he?s got good baseball IQ. Yes his arm is weak, but he?s a proven SEC ball player that has been a solid contributor. Every team needs that kind of leadership.
If he wants to remain a Bulldog- I'm 100% for it. His Dad is a great Dude and a Dawg and he has been as well. But he is easily replaced if BOC does his job. One thing that could help is if Frei gets drafted and bolts. Thats the wild cardQuote:
