I agree. I went and studied his swing when we acquired him last year and he has the tools to be a very good hitter(I?ve also watched video of his swing from the cape and talked to some scouts). Dude has a high ceiling. He has pop, he can run, and his bat speed is excellent, and he plays extremely hard with a great attitude. I?m predicting he has a great year(just like I did with Yeager). If he doesn?t I?ll own it but he?s got what it takes to make it happen.

no doubt

Well based on the positive expectations here and the exuberance over the talent on hand, We will know Lemonis IS the problem if this team doesn?t do great things in 2024.

[Coach34]

E) we benched Hancock at catcher, then benched him at 1B, and we dropped him in the lineup. But you think we wouldn't have DH a stud hitter over him? Come on. And again, like point C), your defense of Hujsak is essentially to throw Lemo under the bus with "Lemo doesn't play the best players". Maybe we actially do agree on baseball more than I thought lol

Ok- why didnt replace Hancock with Chance? Chance hit .330 this past season.

Also- when did we bench Hancock at 1st? He played it damn near the entire season- including the last series of the season. We damn near lost Hines over that

Totally agree. Get Montgomery and we should be a good baseball team in 24. No excuses

So what pitchers are actually still available in the portal? Are we even attempting to go after anyone else?

Purdue guy and Louisville guy maybe

I don't have answer - but I was hoping that the extended network of Parker recruits would come into play.

Like the Alabama State kid that played for team USA Collegiate.

A dude from PR will have zero ties to Alabama State.

I think the Purdue guy seems ordinary.

The Louisville guy is interesting due to being a big recruit, but his numbers are full Canadian.

[BigDawg81]

Those 2 are for sure. The Purdue pitcher was good at the beginning of the season but faded towards the end. He might have been over pitched.

[KOdawg1]

Purdue pitcher had a 5.00 ERA, 66K, 30BB in 76 IP.

Meh

[bigbub50]

Can someone provide the Louisville pitchers name?

[State82]

Purdue pitcher had a 5.00 ERA, 66K, 30BB in 76 IP.

Meh

Compared to our staff that is Ohtani numbers.

Holman was the only non-meh pitcher left in the portal and we didn't get him. I think the Purdue guy is probably the best of what's left. He had one really bad game and was just left to die on the mound. From what SR was saying if you take out that game the ERA drops to about 4. At this point we just need a competent pitcher or two that can eat up some innings for us next year.

Ben Wiegman

9.00 ERA in 2023 with 20 BB in 24 career innings.

Basically Louisville's Andrew Walling but one would not expect Lemonis to take a player from the first dude he will call when fired from MSU.

Between Stephen, Ligon, Loftin, Cijntje, Holcombe, and maybe Siary, we should have enough options. We lack that true Friday guy though unless one of those guys develops into one.

[confucius say]

Loftin 100 percent should be a Friday guy before he leaves. He was a second round pick out of high school. The question is should that be 2024 or 2025.

Loftin was basically unhittable.

Opponents only hit .146 against him. Struck out 43 in 26 innings.

Only probably was the walks. 28 BB in 26 IP.

Cut those in half, and he's our ace.

He lasted 2 innings against OM

He should fit right in.***

Yep. I’ll be surprised if he isn’t Mr Friday for us in 24
