The Portal and baseball

[The Federalist Engineer]

3/4 of you mofos bitched and moaned about how shitty we were going to be at the beginning of the season. Now, everybody worth a damn is leaving etc etc etc. This shit has gotten plumb dumb as hell in here.

You are actually right about this. Also people forget that all schools graduate players.

If you are a MSU recruit you were a high school baller. Probably the best dude in your town and a team captain for your HS.

1B- Stevens is a top national recruit, plus there is always a fat kid that can't play OF in the portal
2B- Cupp is a top national recruit
SS- Mershon is a top national player we hope he stays another year
3B- Allen is a Freshman and top national recruit, hope the draft does not bite
OF- Reynolds is a big recruit
OF- Nori if he is not a top MLB pick could make it on-campus
OF- Chance is a dirtbag we all say we like
C- Get the St John Catcher, Neely. He or Highfill could be DH when not catching, if Highfill can hit better than 230. people talking about Highfill like he is Bryce Harper. He was a big recruit but we have not seen that production just yet. All the positions need competition

MSU also has new dual threat studs like a guy named Cason and another guy Booth, Mr Alabama baseball. Cason is a developing hitter, means he is not expected to hit day-1 but is actually a potential 1st round RHP. Might be like starting over with JC as a freshman.

Might take a few games to develop these players. But also not factoring the portal other than the best collegiate Catcher in the NYC metro area. Plus I don't know who will be the new fat-boy 1B and 3B transfers. Tulane, for example, has a big-boy 1B that hits 300 on RH and LH. Compared to MSU's 1B-man, More 2B, More Total Bases, Higher OBP, and rarely Ks. We got Nate Lowe from JC, Ledbetter from Samford, Yeager from Mercer.

Put all the field players in the Iron Dog program, drink Isopure, and develop mash power.
