Price threw 1 fastball today in his first 14 pitches as Closer. Thats not an SEC-level closer. Thats a reliever that comes in to face 1 batter or two and then is pulled. He is a match-up guy now.

Sims is not a starter yet- but is dominant for 3-4 innings. So u match him up with one of our LH'ed SP's and use them as a tandem. Macleod/Sims would be a good one
Keep running Fristoe out there. Let him learn, grow, and get better. He needs to be the #3 this year because of his talent plus what it will do to help next season.
Smith needs a good 4 inning outing every weekend- tandem him with a lefty also- Harding?

Bednar should be ready next weekend- and that will also help answer some questions. Cade Smith likely returns by the end of March and he will also bolster the staff as he is Fristoe level as well
We have one of the best staffs in the country... yet have no closer, no clue about our Saturday guy, no Sunday guy, and need true Fr to develop fast to fill in holes? That?s not an elite staff. If might be if things all break our way, but right now there?s no way you can say we have a great staff
