Lemonis to Speak at 1130

[confucius say]

Supposedly. I'm anticipating CM to Friday

[Jack Lambert]

What is CM?

[Maverick]

Think he means Christian MacLeod. However, I suspect the rotation will stay the same....

[RiverCityDawg]

Nope. MacLeod, Bednar, Cerantola. At least we can move on.

[TNDawg35]

This would be a great wknd to get Bednar into it. I like that move...

[ShotgunDawg]

Ginn out for the season with TJ.

- Good for Ginn. Glad he made the right decision. Now he can rebound next year & reach his ceiling in a weaker draft class.

- We have had an inordinate amount of these over the past 5 years compared to other programs. I don't blame anyone but bad luck. At some point it will even out for us & other teams will have this bug while we are healthy.

[KOdawg1]

Allen has surgery as well, but he's expected back at some point. That's good news

[ZedFedder]

So what is the outlook on Ginn? Was it TJ? Do we expect him to be able to pitch again next season?

I've heard it may not have been a traditional TJ, but in the end, they needed to go in there & fix whatever the issue was.

I'd fully expect JT to be back next year. He needs to pitch to regain draft stock, & TJ isnt' that big of a deal anymore to Major League teams. There is a high recovery rate & it's not a huge concern.

JT should be full speed ahead next year & it's a worse draft than this year, which offers him a real chance at being a 1st round pick.

I stand corrected haha. That is interesting as much as it seems we've heard Bednar isnt ready. I will be at that game so I'll be interested to see how he does.

There were some other issues besides ligament damage to correct. In fact those other issues may have caused the ligament problem due to him trying to pitch through it with extra stress on the elbow. Praying he'll make a full recovery. I know for sure he'll put the work in to get back out there!

[Homedawg]

As I said weeks back with jt. He'll bounce back.

[confucius say]

As I said weeks back with jt. He'll bounce back.

What's your guess on timetable?

[BeardoMSU]

As I said weeks back with jt. He'll bounce back.

Do we expect him back at State next year?

Was waiting to see what you and Homedawg said since you appear to know the family.

So you mean to tell me he's a guy that will fight through pain and he's not weak as others have said?****

[Coach34]

Where would he go?

[Maverick]

Where would he go?

Not saying I do but some people are speculating he could still enter the draft and still go first round and that's coming from a baseball america article.

[ShotgunDawg]

There's some talk that he could still be a top 50 pick, but I don't believe that.

It's a really strong college pitching draft and that will hurt Ginn. Unless he just hates school, it easily makes sense for him to come back and go in the top of the 1st round.

Baseball America doesn't know 17 right now. They're just pushing Boras' agenda since he gives to keep the publication going.

[Maverick]

I guess he could go and I certainly wouldn't fault him for doing that and avoiding the risk. I don't even know him or the family at all but I would think just with the way my mentality would be, assuming he thinks like me and he definitely may not, he may believe he has something to prove.

Also, if his instagram is any indication of that I would assume he plans on coming back stronger. A picture of himself in a State uni on the bump with a caption of, "Just wait on it", tells me all I need to know.
