He healthy Cuff has the edge, then Ardoin and Markle. Fall competition will be fun to watch. If more than one is having a good fall, you could see someone slide over to 3rd base because the Cajuns are really young at that position.Quote:

I think it'll be Cuff as well. You're right, it's gonna be fun!Quote:

He "has the edge" doesn’t really answer MWolf's question.Quote:

Coached mentioned going into the fall Morgan, a healthy Hermann and a healthy Thuet will be favored, but there will be good competition from others.Quote:

Truly would be LHP-U in 2025.Quote:

I think Morgan will be your Friday night guy, Hermann will be Saturday and TBD on Sunday. Theut may start there, but I would doubt he finishes there.Quote:
