Handsome Monica

Robe stated that Monica is out for the season and will apply for medical redshirt. We sure are getting our share of injuries this season.

I would say so...we are in essence losing our top two leaders before the season even started. I'm not even sure you could compare the loss of Gunner and Handsome to any player combo lose in Cajun history...think about it.

[CajunVic]

We are definitely suffering somewhat from a depleted roster.

Start with 34
Less Gunner 33
Now less Monica, Armstrong and spears, 30
I believe Hanie is suffering from a back injury 29

How low can we go?

As was mentioned on another thread by someone not named me but who I agree with ... I don't think Gunner should be mentioned in any player loss calculations.

If he had been healthy, he would have been gone. If he had been healthy, his MLB demands would have been quickly met.

Losing Handsome Monica, now that hurts, that hurts now.

Agreed. I only included Gunner in the above analysis because putting him on the 35 man roster makes one spot non-productive.

I have said before that what Gunners injury gave us was an opportinity to have him in 2019.

I don't think, under any circumstance that it is credible to argue that Gunners injury has anything to do whatsoever to our 2018 woes, save giving up that roster spot to take him along with the team for 2018, and then, since we have only carried 34 to date, there was obviously no one else available that is not on the 35 that this coaching staff believed could be helping this team, otherwise they would be on the roster.

Mentioning Gunner as an excuse for 2018 is a complete red hearing.

Fair enough...I never thought about whether or not his MLB demands would have been met at 100% healthy.

If his mama would have named him Ugly Monica... he'd be playing right now. You know what they say... you can't help Stupid... and you can't hurt Ugly.

Hannie would have been competing for some playing time too

Coach Rob had mentioned several weeks back at a Diamond Club luncheon that they will have to make a decision on Monica soon. I guess the time table has come.

[Rougarou]

Hopefully we can get him the redshirt. It would be good to have him catching Gunner next year plus he deserves a chance to get back into form as a pro prospect as he was before he came here. He needs to show the scouts he can play.

Actually he changed his name to Handsome himself. If his Moma would have named him Ugly, he surely would have changed that also. Just sayin
