More good news
Highfill hit the portal and McPh and Burns announced they are staying. Now waiting to hear from Foster

Yep. Our middle infield and starting rotation are about to get better.

A lot. It's nice when plans come together.

What are the thoughts here on Chance returning ?

I would think pretty good.

The entire lineup may all bat over 300 this next season

I don't like talking bad about players but I couldn't watch another highfill at bat anymore and he was a passed ball waiting to happen! Happy about Mcpherson and Burns, we needed both to stay and I understand we have some more help on the way!

A wave of Va transfers just dropped

Thats great but I would rather have a bunch of 275 hitters who know how to hit when there is a man on 2nd and 3rd with no outs than a hitter who hits a single HR once in awhile. Face it we sucked with men in scoring positions/

If we were down by 7 runs and it was late innings, and we had stranded 27 runners throughout the game, you could count on Hines to hit a solo shot with 2 outs.

yes, but I will take a lineup batting north of 0.300
Pressure on pitchers, opposing coach has to consider, more threats. They cannot pitch around hitters for the next guy.
This lineup will be a gauntlet.
edit: some 2 out hitting is just luck of the ball having eyes. But I agree, we need contact hitters with runners in scoring position.

My problem with him was it never seemed like he was serious out there. I felt like I was watching a really big Little Leaguer.

Really high. But he may not be guaranteed to start.
