    I say put the best player on the field and if it's this guy go with it. All positions should be open for competition.

    I mean, that'll probably be the case but he's not beating Highfill out.

    He's a career .258 hitter and Highfill had more HRs in 1 year than this guy has had in 4.

    He'll be a solid backup though.

    We know that Holman and Montgomery are targets and Holman is visiting soon. Montgomery is expected to enter the portal once he is done with team USA. What I didn?t know is that is a current teammate of Montgomery that wants to play with Montgomery. I don?t know the name of that player but that might be something to look out for.

    I'm not as high on Highfill as most but no way he loses his job short of injury.

    I'm high on any freshman that hits 9 HR's as a true freshman. Hell, He can catch 2 games a week and DH the other 2. Transfer guy can catch the other 2. Whatever makes us better

    I agree. You get an experienced catcher that can split time with your sophomore. Tanner was a rare bird who could catch everyday and still be productive at the plate. This year?s national champs rotated catchers all year long. Not just depth, but rotation needed position.

    So far, this may be Lemonis best portal acquisition from this years portal.

    Plus he is a magna cum laude grad. So there is that.

    And he hit in the .180s in SEC play with only 4 HRs. OPS was low, K rate very high. He wasn't ready. Can he increase his average .100 pts? Can he double those HRs? Can he cut the K rate to below 20%? Or, just hit bombs and up that OPS .300 pts. He's never been a great hitter. Wasn't in HS. It's a legitimate concern. I think he can do those things, just not next season. I think he's two years away from being very good. And really, that was the plan until he had to play this year.

    The only way i can get high on next year's team is to smoke a whole bag of Columbian gold! You all are in for a big disappointment, and you just cannot see it. you have Moorhead syndrome!

    We get a walk on, people want to bench a marquee recruit and performance freshman. Times are hard.

    Montgomery is our best chance at Burns too. May be a long shot, but we're at least in the discussion.

    This guy isn't good enough to split time. He's a backup. Period.

    Let's see the roster and go from there. Complaint about it now would be like complaint about football commitments in March..... oh wait...:
