_ What about the kid from Barbe? I have heard that he is sure to be drafted. Any word on where he would potentially be drafted and whether he will go if drafted? _
[/QUO
the word on the street is that his father would like for him to get at least 2 years od college under his belt before going pro. Also, he is great friends with Tony. I really think he will show up and play.
If, Pilgreen , Laughter, and Lucroy come back, we could make it to the World Series . Sure would be an experienced and powerfull lineup. _

I sure hope you are right about the Barbe kid.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I often am), but isn't Laughter a senior? I thought he was a juco transfer a couple of years ago. I don't think he can come back.

Laughter is a Sr, he won't be back. He was a transfer from Lamar.

Yes he is a senior, who transfered from Jacksonville U. He had a great season! Best of luck in pro ball!

I could have sworn it was Lamar...did we have another transfer recently from Lamar?

If he enters college he is not draft eligible for 3 years.

_ The way it works with Pilgreen is, now that the season is over, he petitions the NCAA for a sixth year. He'll need to turn in all of his medical reports documenting his two surgeries and also send in his transcript.

Usually, the first thing the NCAA looks at is, does the player have his degree (after five years)...the answer there is yes for Pilgreen.

I personally believe that, if he applies, he'll get it. But that's his choice whether or not to do it. _

Any idea what the deadline is for that application to be filed and when might a response from the NCAA be forthcoming?

Having him back in the bullpen would assure (IMO) Danny being a starter next year, but maybe having Pilgreen back is not a prerequisite for that.

In any case having Pilgreen back would be awesome!

Two years, if he is age 21 within 45 days of the draft.

How is Buddy doing?

I would imagine that he will be drafted, but sure would love to have him back for next year. I think he has some unfinished business here. Whatever he decides, we love him.

Danny, Hunter, Buddy and Zolich as potential starters with one headed to the pen....... Pilgreen and T-Robe also in the pen....... and I'm sure Sr-Robe has some new arms being groomed for mid-week games.... thats a heck of a place to start on the mound.... experience at every position coming back..... Luke and Jefferies will be missed to be sure but I'm confident that we will be very good in 08..... VERY good.... Guess we will need to be a #5 or better RPI to be assured of hosting with those nuckleheads...... future is very bright.........

Don't forget about Zorich, Harmon and Wilborn.

[CajunAmos]

Solich and Zorich will both be back
