2014 Baseball

I was told the equipment manager!! and yes he seems to have a lot of Spiritsimo!!!

Yea he is the equipment manager. I'm pretty sure he's been with the team most if not all of the season.

It would have to be in the top 10 rounds. After the 10th round there is no little to no guarnteed money. The 10th round picks are only slotted around $125,00. That's not much for a guy who if he comes back could possibly work his way into the top 5 rounds where the money is better. Strentz still has leverage because he has two years left to play, now if he only had one year left I would say he signs no matter what

This team has recent history of players signing in later rounds for little money. Not saying it's a good idea. Just saying.

Hopefully we can bring in 2 more great position players this year as backups----then we need 2 starters and 2 relief guys!!! need to get Deggs a huge bonus check with a glance of the future NOW!!! This year our juniors are Carriere, Leonards,Traffica, Boutte Kjer, Wilson, Hicks , Harrison,Carter,Plitt, Compton----Just don't want the Water to all seep out next year--ALWAYS think ahead----I know that this is a huge concern in Football at this time with the Juniors of this coming year I think!!!

Can you remind me of who are the incoming freshmen and Juco players coming in next year? Who should we look out for to make an immediate impact?

While this is true, in none of those situations were we expecting to return almost a full squd next year with high expectations. That could play a large role in someone like Strentz or Kjerstad wanting to come back for another year. The team chemistry is very solid right now from what I've heard... hell, Strentz even referred to the team as his brothers in one article. These guys are solid... he may want to stick around and try to make a legitimate run to Omaha.

In the recent history you spoke of, it was greener pastures to leave... because we were never looking at returning such star caliber players.

I could be wrong, but hopefully it makes a difference in their decisions.

I'm hoping you are right. I really do, but players signing for small money short of a degree and washing out in three years just doesn't even raise one eyebrow on the front of my head anymore. These kids have lived their entire lives waiting to hear their name called on draft day. Of course, after a month of riding buses from nowhere to nowhere they all ask themselves why the hell they threw their lives away.

If the pollsters do their homework, we should be in line for some top 25 votes if not a preseason ranking. We have a team that was in the top 5 of almost every offensive category with at least 7 guys returning. We picked up some pitching depth, return all 3 weekend starters and went to finals of a national seed regional. I know football season is going to be fun, but I'm glad to be excited and looking forward to Cajuns Baseball again.

The biggest recruit we need to keep is Matt Deggs. I'm sure a lot of schools will come calling after the offensive improvement the Cajuns showed this year. If we keep him then I think anything worse than hosting a regional and going to the Supers will be a disappointment. I hope the arms coming in are as good as advertised.
