    Our weekend rotation will be Pilk, Small, and France.

    Billingsley, Ashcroft, and Gordon will see fourth starter on the weekend and midweek duty.

    McQuary, Neff, Self, and Price will be the key bullpen cogs.

    Denver has better stuff than Billingsley or Ashcroft if he can get it together

    His only issue is control. It was a problem in high school. It was better last year. Hopefully, he's made another jump. Billingsley had a great outing against UF last year and had a pretty solid summer. I've heard Ashcraft has had some arm issues, but I haven't been able to confirm. The pro scouts like Ashcraft as a closer or a 1 inning relief guy.

    ISeenIt, Ari, and myself have nicknamed him "Nuke Laloosh"....great stuff with a 10 cent head. I love guys with movement on the ball like he has so I'm more patient than others. Billingsley is certainly the safer play

    It?s Ashcrafts hip, not arm. Opposite hip from last year.

    Top 8 or 9 get 80% of the innings, last year we had 10 pitchers with 20 innings of service

    Cann has raved about Leibelts control, seems a strike thrower would thrive with Henderson-Cannizaro

    1. Pilkington
    2. Small
    3. Self
    4. France
    5. Billingsley
    6. Price
    7. Neff
    8. Gordon
    9. Leibelt
    10. Denver


    I think Breaux and James will pitch some but they are still on the comeback trail. I could see them being more and more of a factor as the season progresses.

    For opening weekend the top 8.

    Pilkington, Small, France, Billingsley, Price, Neff, Gordon, and Leibelt

    Self has to get healthy before I move him in that group. I’d also start Denver midweek vs jsu.
