I'd prefer we do something like I mentioned in the other thread..

Here's an idea...

Tell Laster, Hudson, Sexton, Tatum, Preston Brown, and Myles Gentry, that the SECT is their baby and they will be the only ones pitching. Let Butch create a rotation and piggy back situation with those guys, and see what happens. Would be a good way to get some young inexperienced guys some valuable experience, and to test them for who is ready to rise up.

At the same time, have a meeting with all the hitters and tell them that the SECT is on them, and that we are not pitching our usual starters so it is up to them to score enough runs to get wins.

Challenge both groups, and let the chips fall where they may. In the meantime our starters and Lingo/Holder/Bracewell get some rest.

Maybe a dumb idea, but just a thought
Like your creative thinking and thought you put into it but I am not a big fan overall. I think we will go deep in the tournament like we have done the previous two years because I think Cohen does stress importance in this tournament. I think we could sneak into that last hosting slot if two things happen A) if LSU goes two and Q which could happen since they will likely start with Vanderbilt a team they struggle against and B) we beat USC and Florida two teams with high RPIs to steal that fifth spot from LSU. I think we have a good chance against both USC and Florida as we will likely pitch Mitchell against Florida on Thursday for the Saturday Semi-final slot. We may very well play Florida twice which if we beat them twice will most suredly bump our RPI quite a bit. I think the resting arms crap is crap since the regionals won't start until a week from this coming Friday. I think we have just as good a chance of going deep in this thing as anyone else because our pitching staff is about as deep as anyone else's in the SEC tournament. Cohen knows what it takes to win these things so my guess is we AT LEAST make it to Saturday like we did last year. I am thinking that the toughest game in these things is always the first but we have a pitching staff that will keep us in any game we play.
