On the mound we will have one of the best staffs in the country: Mcleoud is a Fr guy already and hell have another year to hone his craft. Cerantola will have 70+ innings more work and another offseason to get it together, he absolutely could be the next Dakota Hudson. Ginn will almost certainly come back for another year, even not 100% that's a really good Sunday guy. Our best 2 bullpen arms (Sims and Bednar) will be back, and you gotta imagine we add another 1-2 arms of that level between JuCo and Fr. Then Smith will be healthy, hell he has the potential to be a great Sunday guy as Ginn makes his way back or an elite bullpen guy.

But you're right, we have no idea what to make of the O yet
Rule number one of junior college hitters- never expect them to make an impact. If they do great. But Nate Lowe is the anomaly. And we still recruit too many of them.
