We need guys thst can play defense that will also put our Punch and Judy hitters.....err....I mean batters on the bench or out the door. Tired of SS & 2B who can hit my 2 month old granddaughters weight!
that goes hand in hand with the eval part of recruiting. the previous coach was not good in this area
Will chance come back for his final year? Doubt he has any professional prospects, but he's engaged so he may be ready to move on.Quote:

Cape Cod All Stars is a buffet for SEC portal poachers.
I'm talking about the guys they replaced that Lemonis was so hard headed about playing before his weak lineups and lazy style got him canned!Quote:

It could definitely change the dynamic of who plays in that league. It may very well become very transfer player oriented.Quote:

We may need a lot more than that once the coaching staff is settled.Quote:

I would suspect that Chance comes back unless the coach doesn't want him for some reason which would be suprising.Quote:

Big yes on Chance, he has gotten better every year, we need him back.Quote:
