(3) if Owen is crushing baseballs like we hear, then you want the lad in the lineup. Owen becomes the catcher when Highfill is in CF.
(4) man, if Ross plays mostly CF, then MSU should have snagged that great St John catcher that Wake Forest took. Or the big Purdue Mechanical Engineer kid that went to Clemson.
1) highfill has a good arm. But his defense as a fr wasn't brilliant. It was down right terrible. I get it, fr improve. But he has to be flight years better.
