Also have Rives Reynolds was a freshman that got hurt in pre-season. He was the 242 highest rated High-School recruit in the nation.Quote:

We also have Michael O'Brien as well. Our outfield isn't barren. Pulliam could also play out there. Also, where did this narrative start that we "lost" Sanford. We never had him. To my knowledge, he never even visited.Quote:

Some of y'all say some ridiculous stuff on here. Pulliam played well mid-season, and earned an opportunity. Then he went into a funk late in the season and batted .117 over his last 34 at bats and he got benched. That's not hate. That's understanding where players are and what your lineup needs. BTW, when Larry went back to 2nd after the MO series, he hit .290 over the remaining games.Quote:

Ole Miss has fans and dudes that want to play there. Seems a perfect place for a guy with no academic major. I am more disappointed in losing a Purdue mechanical engineering student to the ACC than Sanford to OM. Luke Gaffney to Clemson, when we need a power hitter and a catcher/1B.Quote:

I'm assuming you're talking about the UNO kid with OM. No clue on Gaffney. I would feel certain we reached out to him, but there has to be return interest.Quote:

I expect one more. But it's not for sure. To take two would have to be absolutely the top two on the board and still not sure if we have the room. But I would and figure it out later.Quote:

Mannell is by far the best JUCO prospect. Actually started out at K-State. Fortenberry was really good but we'll see how and where he fits. Schnoor was overlooked in high school and may turn out to be Peyton Plumlee 2.0. Davis seems to be a reach honestly.Quote:

With Highfill and likely Powell coming back it is going to be hard to get a catcher this portal cycle. We were very fortunate to find Long and Powell last cycle.Quote:

Fisher committing tomorrow. I expect Tennessee
I'll be surprised if we aren't done with the portal.Quote:

But if you are just collecting Mental Cases to rehab, there is Grayson Saunier still.
Hurd sucks, let him go late in the draftQuote:

I'll be honest- Saunier wouldn't be bad. I might be biased because I thought he did a good job against us in the Governor's Cup. I think Parker might be able to get something out of him.Quote:

There are probably going to many, many players to pick from after the draft, even decommits.Quote:

We're not going after scraps. Both of those guys are catchers and like last season Ross Highfill complicates that as far as the portal goes.Quote:

Just read Hunter Hines' MLB.com scout sheet, pretty brutal. It's like Elitedawgs wrote it.
Welcome back DJ!
Wishful thinking, but still a chance
No chanceQuote:
