I don't think it's Reese. If it's who I think it is, this one is big. Solves a definite issue.

He plays LF/RF but can also play 1BQuote:

Looks like it. I was told it was Fisher or Hungate. I knew we had a good shot at Reese. Just would have preferred a pitcher since we still have two weekend starters to replace.Quote:

You have to hope so. Both are still big risks as Hungate has never been a starter and Fisher got hit pretty good this year.Quote:

Hurd is in for protection post draft. Can shop himself as leverage if he doesn't get drafted where he would like. Smart decision.Quote:

1. Chance LF (R)

4. Stevens RF (L)
5. Frei 3B (S)
6. Stallman 1B (L)
7. Highfill C (R)
8. Cupp SS (R)
9. Reeves or Pulliam 2B (R)
BUT, if Nori comes AND Mershon returns
1. Nori CF (L)
2. Mershon SS (S)
3. Reese RF (L)
4. Sullivan DH (R)
5. Frei 3B (S)
6. Chance/Stevens LF (R/L)
7. Stallman/Stevens 1B (L/L)
8. Highfill C (R)
9. Cupp 2B (R)
Now, that's a lineup that can make some noise
What are the odds of Mershon and/or Nori ?Quote:

Mershon and Nori are linchpins. They take our lineup up a few notches, but we won't be a big power team. The pitching has to be a lot better than the options we've seen and business is about to pick up in that respect I do believe. Starting pitching carried us this season. It won't next season if we don't hit on the new arms hitting the market.
Still waiting on Hungate and Fisher. Really confident on one, but pretty confident on both. Then again, I was certain that we would get LaPour.Quote:

I think it's becoming more common. But that works in our favor because they get to be around the other signees and in the facilities for a week or so before the actual draft. I know a couple of nights before the draft they turn on the lights and let them all take BP in the stadium.Quote:
