We should be in the hosting discussion with the pitching staff we have

pitching and defense and Poole is a heck'uva outfielder. Yes, liability with the stick but he can flat out go get it in the OF and that's what Can loves about him.
If our pitching situation meets expectations, then Poole might be the best choice out there.
Just a few things I have heard:
- Stovall will start at................ catcher. Supposedly he's by far the best receiver we have.
- Look out for Ethan Small. Boom or bust guy that could steal the spotlight if it comes together.
- Really need Breaux to be a reliable piece out of the bullpen.
- We can pitch it but scoring runs will be a struggle. Really need Mangum to be what he was his freshman year & for Jordan Anderson to become a guy in the middle of the lineup.
damn dude- thats a buzzkill. If we have to move an All-SEC level 2nd baseman to Catcher we got problems
Small has recovered very well from what I have heard. I think he starts on Sundays.
I'm not expecting a lot out of Breaux this year. I've heard that Riley Self has a shoulder injury and that's not a good thing.
If Stovall starts at catcher I'm guessing we start Tanner Allen at second base.
Cann is really high on Tanner Poole in just about every interview. Hopefully he can work his magic with Poole's bat.
Stovall isn’t starting at catcher. He will be at short or second. Whoever is saying catcher is giving you bad info.
Self......if his shoulder was hurt it isn’t anymore. he pitched for a solid 6 hours at the baseball camp this weekend. Yes, there was no velocity and it was rag ball but no way Cann has him throwing BP to a bunch of 6th graders and younger if his shoulder is hurt.
Tanner.....hope he has gotten better and will get better at the plate. He is an elite outfielder with wheels. has serious power.....just can’t hit a curveball. Let Cann work with him a little longer.
Jake looks like he has put on some weight.....I am guessing 5-10lbs. Just guessing here.
Pitching we are loaded.....end of story
Catcher.......if we have a catcher on the roster that will hit above .200, someone give me his name. This is my biggest concern. Not receiving pitches......but hitting a beach ball on a tee. Not sure we have a guy that can do it.
Cann will have the crew ready to play and he has one goal and one goal only in mind.......it is the one thing we have not done at MSU.
