Yup. Although I'd take Dakota Hudson back if we could.
Which makes me wonder, is Dakota way more common as a name than I realize? Or have we had pretty good luck with people named dakota? If Jordan ends up being a stud, should we just start offering schollies to any halfway decent prospect named Dakota? Surely we'd be the only school with 3 Dakotas in the pros if Jordan makes it?

As long as we don't see much of Dakota Fanning

Does Highfill factor as DH at this point in time?
Man oh man, Ledbetter and Dakota will make our OF defense superb. Having 2 guys capable of playing CF roaming out there will be awesome.

Crap, if North Dakota comes to a Dudy Noble Regional as a 4-seed, we will get swept.

Yeah, I'd say Larry has it locked

Parker Stinnett had 7 walks in the scrimmage today.
The maroon team had a combined 13 walks in 7 innings. The black team had 5.
I hope we can hit.

Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh
I seriously honestly would just cut Stinnett if I was Lemonis. It ain't gonna happen.
The problem is we all KNOW he is going to get too many opportunities to fail. And he will.
I was really surprised when we brought him back.

Steve Blass disease. Although to have Steve Blass disease you have to be able to have had some actual success and command at some point.
So not sure this qualifies.
Mentally he just can't perform when the lights come on. Most people can't.

Yep, it happens........Mark Wohlers for the Braves in the late 90's did the same thing...........Rick Ankiel with the cardinals too.........

I think he's pretty decent, he's just not as good as Forsythe with the glove. It's all about what you're willing to trade.
Do you want a better hitter with more pop and serviceable defense, or a singles hitter with near elite defense?
Have to consider that Mershon has never faced SEC pitching so he could very easily struggle at the plate like Lane will. In which case, Lane then has the upper hand
Forsythe has an A+ glove at most important defensive position. Unless other dude is like a Gridley you leave Forsythe.

I'm already having nightmares about bad umps this season now that you bring up the tight zone

I think it's going to depend on the situation.

Gotta be honest I have a soft spot for Forsythe. Dude could not hit a beach and he never let it affect his game. We do not win NC without him. He was such a big piece of that, made every play he needed to. As a true freshman, ice water in his veins.

Agreed........I understand the slugging % is low but he did hit .273 last year too and I don't think some posters realize that.........

I want to say in SEC games only, Forsythe led the team in batting average last year.
