I wouldn't be surprised if they use him as a relief pitcher. Also wouldn't be surprised if Parker works his magic and he is in the rotation.Quote:

I have no idea if MSU was actually pursuing him. Surely the MSU offers are better than WF's, I hope.
I doubt we were on him. Judging by the guys we were going after, we want low K guys. Kid had a good avg but a K rate of 31%. Also probably didn't help his case that he was 1-7 with 5 Ks in two games against us.Quote:

This is not a portal guy but one of our signees, a player to keep an eye on is Topher Jones. Watching him play he's slick in the field and has excellent bat speed. Also by watching him on the field he's a kid that loves the game and is a leader who's teammates love him. If you watch him you can see how much he loves being on that field, gamer. While he may not be an immediate impact player, keep an eye on him down the road.
Sounds like we may be closing in on a pitching commit in the next couple of days.
I hope it sticks. make me feel better
hopefully, it?s a good one and will compete for a spot in the rotationQuote:

If rumors are true, we're in on a couple big pitchers.
I'll admit it does sound good.
C'mon Lemo, make me eat crow
Ohio state pitcher seems to be one and seems like we are in a good spot with him. He has decent numbers. Don?t look at his W/L record because the record doesn?t tell the full storyQuote:

Interesting pickup. Seems like he's got high upside. Need him to develop better than Loftin. Then again....that would just be develop at all.Quote:
