Q:

When Justin is playing 1st does it save any time warming up for a trip to the mound?

_ So Ben, why do they call him 'JUT'? _

Pretty sure thats what the team calls him

I've seen Justin throwing in the bullpen when we're up to bat and he's not due up for a while.

_ I agree and I agree with Brian too. Keep in mind, Trahan was tending to family issues out of state MUCH of the year last year. Despite all his time away, batting now is up 0ver 50 points from 08 and up 20 points from last year.

Brooks will also be a GREAT asset to recruiting. I hope we are able to keep him somehow. LOTS of connections, especially in Florida, where we have plucked quite a few good players. I am really optimistic as to what Trahan and Badeaux could build.

No, I don't always agree with what Robe does, be we are not there everyday. From what I understand some of his decisions about who plays where and when, are made from more than just practice performance...(classes, curfews, attitude, appearance, etc...)...ie....T-Whip, NOBODY wanted to see that kid get away ...but Robe has rules and is a stickler for them. That was detetrimental to our team, but a tough decision had to be made. Robe is not only trying to win baseball games, but he is also trying to produce/train/teach the guys to be responsible men who will contribute positively to society. That's probably why some think he's a priick. We don't see what happens day in and day out to legitamately criticize every decision. ...(although, I still do, because I am as frustrated as every other fan)...With that said, .500 ball every year is no good, but I do believe THE PROGRAM WILL BE BACK. _

Brooks may not have a direct impact on recruiting, or at least right now. He is still a volunteer coach and is not allowed to go on recruiting trips which means that he would be able to assist with recruits when they come in town but his impact in other states will be limited.

Thanks dude, I really wanted Ben7198 to answer that. Everybody ran him off the board after his first two posts and he is nowhere to be found. I kinda wanted him to come back and answer a simple little question......... and THEN I could remind him how IGNORANT his first two posts were about T-Robe.

Then do you agree that he COULD/WOULD have a huge impact on recruiting? I think we (RCAF) need to come up with some money for him................or cut the least produtive assistant (and by no means am I calling out Bab) to make room for him. Tough call there.
