whats the story on - s. carrier, d. kjerstad, and s. harrison? i'm not familiar with them.

[trevo89]

Carriere- Transfer from LSUE where he hit .329, good glove on the corner with a big time arm. Will also see him play some SS and may even close a few games for the Cajuns.
Kjerstad- Drafted out of high school in the 50th round by the Reds. Ended up being a red-shirt freshman at Texas before transferring to Howard Juco. Big boy with a big bat, who runs in the 6's in the 60.
Harrison- Kid can flat out run. Great gap to gap power from the plate. You will also see him on mound during some mid-week games with a really good breaking ball.

Great info, thanks!! This years team has a different feeling than years past, hopefully that translate into W's.

Close........

Fri SP - Ben Frith
Sat SP - Austin Robichaux
Sun SP - Cody Boutte

I'm not sure Traffica will be ready to go 6 innings to start the season.
Also, don't count out Cord Cockrell.

I have a good feeling about this season. It will be nice to charge into the post season.

Valid point with Cord Cockrell but I see him starting in relief to make his way to a weekend starter. As far as Ben Frith goes, there is no shot he will be the Friday night starter or even a weekend starter.

I would think being the one of only 3 Seniors, leading the Texas Collegiate league in strikeouts this summer, and winning game 2 of the Fail World Series against Austin would be enough to get consideration for Frith.

If not Traffica, Frith, and Cockrell, who else would get the other weekend start?

Being a senior does not warrant you a weekend rotation spot. Going off of last season and this Fall, I just do not see him as a Friday night guy. If you go off what he did in the Summer, he may have led the league in strike outs but also had a plus 5.00 ERA and walks more people then you would like. I do think he will pitch, just not on the weekends.
Look for Carter, Wilson, and Griffit as possible options for Sundays.

I guess my question is how does Monroe win baseball championships with not near the facilities we have and nowhere near the crowds that come to the Tigue---Say what you want about the stadium but with people in there it is very nice for the players!!!

Pump the brakes. ULM doesn not win championshipS. They won last year and maybe a regular season a few years early but they do not consistently win.

Last year the blind squirrel found its nut. Won't happen this year.
