So I guess Ron Washington was right.

refresh my memory as I've not thought about baseball since June:
1) who would play 1B if Hunter moved to DH?
2) who is the DH today that Hunter would be knocking out of the lineup?
Basically, yeah we can probably get a decent defensive first baseman out there, but what would that do to the lineup?

2nd best Baseball movie. Of you want a poster boy at 1st base look at Freeman. A 6'6" skinny gut who can do a split and stretch to get the ball thrown over his head to get the gut out where a 6'1" guy wouldn't.

Jackson McKenzie or Aaron Downs. Probably would mean sitting Bryce Chance if I had to guess.

Of course Wash was right! Best infield coach in history!

Who are our outfielders? I thought Chance would be fighting for an OF spot

He deserves nothing, but his contact terms. Host a regional or GTFO.
He's just an employee. Short of Omaha, I would fire him regardless this year. There are many good coaches available.

heard today people are really singing Hugesak's praises so far this preseason

He is very unlikely to be fired if we make a Regional

I think you inadvertently created a new nickname- "No Chance"

It's incredibly hard.

So do we have a 40 man roster yet? How many guys are trying to make the cut down if not?

Nor should he be. If he doesn?t make a regional he should be

I'd have to disagree. If they make a Regional as a 2 seed and go 2 and Q, he needs a new hobby. We have had years where 10 SEC teams made a Regional. Not as big of an accomplishment as you make it out to be.

Top 10 classes, missing Hoover 2 straight years, and making he field of 64 is acceptable to you? The tournament = bring him back?
Top 10 classes to make the field of 64... what a waste of potential
How low our standards have fallen
