Coach said yesterday that Long will spend time in the OF next year.

It took Robe 3 full years to finally figure it out...

How much grinding can an axe take before it doesn't exist anymore?

Did you see Long's fielding % this year? It was below .800! That is really bad. No harm trying him in the OF.

3 full years? He has got one more to go!

i have heard that a few of the starters from this year are not going to be returning such as smith and benzel.. i feel that masch could of made a bigger impact this year maybe try him out at DH or first and hope that thad can get his hitting back

I think that is a good place for him. He can hit (just not as a DH), and maybe, just maybe, the errors have really gotten in his head and a change in position will do a great deal of good for him and the team.

What? What hitting?

[CajunAmos]

What? What hitting?

I will say that after missing at least the first half of the season with the thigh problem, Long wound up hitting .328 for the season, which was third on the team behind Travis Whipple and Greg Fontenot.

He needs to cut down on his strikeouts.

What about getting a hit every now and then?

[CajunProud]

I think Long did based on the numbers. If I recall correctly, he came through with some very timely hits down the stretch.

Sorry, I thought you were refering to Long.

I agree about Masch...
