1b Stevens (which he is red hot apparently in summer ball)
2B Pulliam
Ss Mershan if he stays, if not we have got to get a big time transfer
3b Open or the NBama kid. I would have went after the Denton kid from UT
LF Chance
Cf who knows. Need a big get here
Rf who knows
DH I’m guessing Highfill till he gets his arm back right…

So technically we need a legit SS, a legit CF, and a legit Rf. If Lemonis can’t ATELAST pull those 3, we are in serious shit…

On another note, someone made the comment maybe we need to overpay like everyone else. Maybe everyone else is actually just paying and we are acting like we are poor as usual. You don’t have to spend a fortune on a whole team, but you need those 3 listed above to ATLEAST have some kind of offense. (Even tho I don’t think it will
Matter cause Gotro is still the hitting coach…)

Cupp will be the SS or 2B. He isn't staying to not play. If Mershon stays, he and Cupp will be the MIFs.

Yep. And Pulliam can play the outfield. So crisis averted there.

The only reason that narrative is being floated is because he won't give insider info to Robbie.

Which is the same reason he wanted Leach gone and flipped out when Hollinghead was hired over Bumphis.

And a big reason why Lemonis probably won't talk to him is because of some of the shit he spewed early in the season.

Cupp will probably play SS. I think Stevens will start in RF for now. We may be hoping that Dante Nori and Henry Allen take CF and 1B respectively but I'm also 100% sure that we're going to to fill those spots in the portal.

The pitching staff as it stands is probably Pico and some combination of Stevens, Loftin, Makhai Grant, Cade O'Leary, Luke Dotson, Karson Ligon, and Ryan McPherson. Not a very experienced group. So obviously we need some arms from the portal. And who knows what we're going to get from Stone Simmons at this point? Or Holcombe for that matter.

PSA

Nolan Stevens , Jackson McKenzie, and Holcombe are all playing for the Newport Gulls this summer.

Stevens has not pitched thus far.

Alabama shedding big recruits to the portal.

SS - Mason Swinney

OF- Parker Picot

Both top National Recruits. Bohannon did get good players on campus. I would be more interested in underdeveloped Bama
Players than LSU cancer kids like Moffet.

Moffett isn't a cancer lol. He's just trying to get paid & he'll get a decent bag.

The lineup as of today would set the record for fewest HRs in team history. We need some middle of the order guys with pop bad

Understatement in my opinion. The lineup as of today would be the worst lineup we've fielded since 2015. I honestly thought we'd come out swinging hard in the portal. Dominos falling all around us but none our way. It's quite depressing.

Trading bombs for singles is not going to work. Tennessee hitting 177 in one season is impressive and seems fishy as hell. But unless they are actually cheating MSU is toast at the moment.

Corbin is the right guy to blow the whistle. He already pulled the Karen moment of the young century with his COVIDian move on NC State.

Com'on Tim, call management

Something is going on. You cant tell me they are all hitting bombs like they are even with their small ball park and its all legit. Hell just look at them. Everyone one of them are straight jacked, except the one pitcher they have...

I brought this up in 2022 and I still believe it today. Hell go back and look at that 2022 team they had. Their 5’9 CF looked like Barry Bonds. That is not just a killer S&C program.

Back to transfer portal talk….these next 14–17 days are put up or shut up time for Lemonis. We need to start getting some commits. It is not sound the alarm time yet, but it is getting really close.

He's making the rounds right now, Going to the highest bidder. His asking price is ridiculous and has risen again this last week. He's off our list.

ETA I've known Moffett since he was a young un. He's a good kid from a good family(I knew his grandmother very well and she was just a wonderful lady), he does have a very high opinion of his skill level though, lol.

I know we are on the Ohio St pitcher and one of the Indiana St guys. We are on a few more pitchers and a couple of more position players but no clue on names.

He is going to price himself out of the market and end up at USM for a quarter of his price. Then again, A&M throws stupid money around so who knows.

ETA: Not saying A&M is the team to beat or anything. Just using them as an example.

Yep, my son talks to him at least once a week. He asked one sec team last week for 50k more than he was asking. He's doing the sec equivalent of the price is right.
