SB transfers

Dave, I have to disagree with you on this. Glasco uses pinch runners all the time. He did kick off three kids mid season that ran a lot, so maybe you thought he didn't use them as much.

No, you seem to misunderstand me. I am talking about those players that are specific to baserunning. Glasco has not used those types of players. He does use pinchrunners, but look at the at bats those pinch runner have during the season. For instance Jenna Kean, who was one of those who was kicked off the team, might have been the most used one early in the season but even she had 25 AB's in 22 games. Raina O'neal is a regular starter who pinch ran a little bit and Ari Quinones who has 68 AB's does some.

Frankie Izard did a little but she was still injured and again was one kicked off the team.

I know he uses pinch runners that was not my point.

Just because you have speed doesn't mean you can be a good base runner.

Speed is way more important in softball than in baseball. In baseball, you can take leads and you can steal off of the pitcher. That is not available in softball.

I got you. You are talking about players that just run and nothing else. Eg... Courtney Trahan.

Courtney also does a great job with the National Anthem!

Yup. And actually watch it.

Be the first game I've got the opportunity to see, in person, without the assistance of play-by-play.

Actually, in about 4-5 years, so I'm geeked.

Just kidding, i couldnt resist….

but i digress, the actual point of my question had more to do with roster spot than the intricacies of baserunning.

I meant why leave the spot empty, and thought of a runner as an example of someone that would take the least amount of time and resources to join the team and “get up to speed”.
And if thats all they were going to do, and lets say had a scheduling conflict with track practice they wouldnt really need to be at all practices for the full length of time.

Also if we only have 22 on the roster, thats only 88 tickets, at least we should have gotten the roster up to 25 on paper to get the other 12 tickets they owe us.
