2019 Cajuns Baseball Lineup???

Am I missing something? Why is everyone so high on Breaux?

I guess we will see sooner rather than latter.

We will be a lot better on the bump next year. Three or four of the signees are going to be important pieces of the puzzle. Brandon Young IMO will be our Sunday starter. The two Schultz kids are really good and Chance Stone could be one of the late inning guys.

Bourgois and Lahare can play for me if they don't get any better. I'll take a .300 hitter with 15 doubles and 20 stolen bases any day of the week. Lahare is an all-conference player. Cantrelle is a star. I think you're selling some of the guys short.

Alright put one or two of them at the top of the order. I'll agree with that. Three D1 hitters who were the three best on this team by a bunch. We need a few more to be competitive. I am skeptical about anybody this team signs until they prove they can play well here. I didn't used to be, don't like it and am not alone.

I could name several players on this team and wonder who they actually beat out for a roster spot, they were so bad at playing baseball. Unfortunately, that was most of the position players.

We were ranked 18th preseason last year and at one point had an RPI over 100. So, all the chatter about who will play what next season is exactly what was said last year, pointless noise. I'll wait and see what they put out on the field.

So after Vickie’s delusions of grandeur and some pitching discussions, my point stands.. we know nothing, have very few proven commodities and should set our expectation level accordingly.

Thanks Mattie for graciuosly admitting that you know absolutely nothing.

Your post was most inspiring. I'm always impressed with those that hedge with negativity when they admit that they know not a damn thing.

What I do know, is that I own commercial real estate inside your head..

Might need to start charging you rent.

I've been a very active fan for awhile. I see no reason to wave any pom-poms yet.

I wasnt that enthusiastic coming into this year either to be honest.

We lost our top 5 batters (by avg) and had basically Kennon, Kasuls and Monica (who didn't produce the year before) as returning starters. Kasuls was like a .230 hitter coming in and actually overperformed considering past stats.

I thought Cantrelle would be good and he overachieved versus my expectations but it's hard to expect much from a freshman. Also JC's are unknowns a lot of times as well. Didn't expect Lahare to perform like that but heard really good things about Bourgeois all fall.

Pitching-wise, we basically had 5 guys returning with meaningful innings (Schmidt, Moore, Burk, Harris and Lee). Schmidt really stepped up but the others were about the same or fell off in some cases.

Going into 2019, we lose the only 3 arms that were under a 4.00 ERA. Grant Cox will be our lowest returning ERA. And Leger is somewhat of an unknown. Definitely need help in this department.

A lot of folks I respect are telling me Dalton is the real deal, Young has out of this world potential and Gunner will be Gunner. I’m just not allowing myself to buy into that. I don’t think anyone in the bullpen should be relied upon heavily from this year’s team if we’re going to make a post season return.

The lineup is a complete and total guess at this point. If we’re able to land one of the two guys rumored to be interested in JT’s job, I’ll feel better, but still can’t expect immediate results with a brand new system/approach/personnel.

Starting Rotation? Not a single clue
Lineup? No idea
Bullpen? Overhaul
Defensively? Outside of 2-3 guys, guessing
Coaching Staff? Fluid situation

And oh btw, another stout schedule in 2019.
