    Baseball

    4 players have chosen to leave and won't be back next spring. Just not going to play this spring and wanted an opportunity to, can't blame them.
    Puckett
    Berry
    Watkins
    Eagan
    There could be more that I'm not aware of... but these are what I've heard...

    Seems logical. I wish them all well. Puckett and Berry in particular need as many live AB's as possible.

    I think Tanner and James have both stepped it up. But yes that's the weakness

    When we go against a stud LHP and bullpen LHP, that?s the problem as of today.

    I?m hoping Cumbest will hit good against lefty?s. Since I didn?t see fall ball, I don?t know if any new LH hitters can hit LHP consistently.

    This is where small ball will come in handy and our stacked pitching staff. Going to be some close games next spring.

    I don't see Cumbest excelling at football or baseball as long as he does both. He's a developmental guy in both sports, and it's kinda hard to develop when you're splitting practices. I think he has a brighter future in baseball.

    Eagan leaving is the only one that sort of surprises me. I guess he wants to go somewhere to be a starting pitcher if I had to guess.

    The others...not so much.

    It's getting to the point where if you are not a three year draftable prospect you're probably not going to get to play a lot at MSU. Unless you are a super role guy like subamarine/sidearm/arm angle guy or you defy the odds like Elijah MacNamee.

    Gautreau is going to have to earn his paycheck this year.

    The problem I see is most of our power guys are younger- Logan Tanner and Kamren James. We're going to need the veterans that are more hit for average guys to string hits together and it would be nice if someone busted out.
