Westburg has the highest ceiling of our hitters and I hope he busts out. Going to the Cape is going to be good for him.

I think our defense will be Ok but we're going to have to work really hard at it in the offseason. Having guys in settled positions will help a lot.

I don't think we're going to move a lot of guys like Foscue around. If he's comfortable at second base just let him develop there.

It would be really nice to pick up a grad transfer or two honestly- I'd be fine with a Grant Hogue type leadoff hitter that can play CF for us.

I think playing every day will help Cumbest. But will he hit like Jordan Westburg where he only hits 5-6 home runs and around .300 or will he be Brent Rooker his RS sophomore year and hit 11+ bombs?

Hayden Jones I think will improve enough to where he will start. But we'll see. Homedawg is right about him needing work, but at least if he isn't ready Hancock will do a good job. I can't see that duo replacing Skelton's offense although the raw power is definitely there with Hayden Jones.

TA and Foscue will probably have similar seasons although I could see Foscue regressing some home run wise. I think Halter starts at third. He should be better. Westburg I am hoping busts out. All should be better defensively.

We'll miss Mangum and MacNamee a LOT leadership wise. I think Hatcher starts in LF and will hit 5-10 HR's while hitting .300. Needs to work on his defense. Rowdey should be in CF. I think he will get his average up some and he could hit 5-10 home runs as well. I think Cumbest can match MacNamee production wise. Landon Jordan will start at DH or third base. I think he hits over .300.
