That being said, I wouldn't trade our young players/future for theirs...
The Woodman kid is better than any freshman hitter we have. We need guys like him. He hit .329 this year. The Bortles kid hit a HR and a RBI double yesterday to save their ass.

The Robinson kid is terrible at SS, I don't think he will hold onto the spot. They have another freshman, Bell something that hit over .300 this year too.

Anyone that thinks we have passed Bianco is just nuts. They are recruiting at a high level, and though Bianco can't get his team to O.M.A.H.A, he will put a decent team on the field every year, and some years the team will be really good. This is one of those years.

The key for them next year is if the Trent kid comes back. He is a draft eligible sophomore, but he isn't really that big of a MLB prospect. If he comes back, they will probably have 2/3 of their weekend rotation back. That is a good start.

My biggest problem is that I know Scott Weathersby family, and you couldn't meet a nicer kid. He basically walked on at Ole Miss, he really didn't get a fair shake in first two years, but he hung on and yesterday it all paid off for him. Great kid, great family. Just hate that he is playing for that school.
