No, he was not

He is throwing without pain. Help is on the way but I'm prejudice, LOL. I will say this, dude will compete, now how he performs when he does come back will be interesting. I do know there is no rush as the Coaches know his potential and it's his future. He was rated top newcomer pitcher before the injury, just say and we shall see. I don't need to say much as ED can be vicious on players, but I ain't scarednor do I think Cade will be. His asset is quick worker and strike throw especially breaking ball.
Here is the facts. We can beat most of our midweek opponents with KC Hunt pitching. I?d be all hands on deck all weekend every weekend and just pitch whoever is left midweek.
I would try Skinner at lead off. He had some great at bats over the wknd. Hell anything on the ground he has a chance to beat out... I would try this...
Skinner
Hancock
Allen
James
Tanner
Rowdey
Hatcher
Debrule
Forsythe
I really think what we'll see from here on out, or I guess what I would like to see would be:
Fri.- CMac-Smith-Stinnett if needed
Sat.-Bednar-Johnson-Sims
Sun.-Fristoe-Harding-Figure it out to get the win
Midweek- All hands on deck.

This is where I usually get that, but they aren't keeping up this season, unfortunately. Maybe it will be updated soon
I would want a little more sample size before throwing Skinner into the leadoff spot. I don't know what is going on with Debrule. I realize it was in Jacksonville but he was one of the top hitters in college and had an average over .400 in the shortened season last year and I think has more hits than any other active player in college. I could understand if he dropped to around .300 with some better competition that he is seeing but he is all the way down to .243. Lost about 60 points off his average since moving to leadoff. And we have only played 3 games against the SEC. Usually guys that can hit tend to hit, so not sure what's going on with him. Rowdey is at .231 as a veteran player, that is a problem as well and doesn't lend to putting him back at leadoff unless he heats up. We just have too many guys that SHOULD be hitting that aren't hitting right now and its a big problem. Its almost like everyone is currently in a slump or at least we hope. If all of our hitters have just regressed then that is a major issue and I would start wondering what in the world JG has been doing with them. We don't have one everyday player hitting above .310 right now which is horrible given we don't hit many HRs and are just now getting into SEC play.
