2011 Cajun Baseball Team

That original list is also missing RHP Josh Bailey, who sat out this season as a transfer from Southeastern Louisiana.

Sounds like a solid player. We're gonna have talent to spare in the outfield, I just hope someone steps up at 1st base and catcher.

If Ovens ends up here - he still has some academic work to finish first in Florida - it will be as an outfielder. He has never played any other position and has too much athleticism to be moved elsewhere. He could fill the opening in center after Olasin's departure.

Marvel played multiple positions in junior college, including first base, so I'd expect him to move from the outfield before anyone else.

The team's outfield depth is going to be ridiculous next year.

Yea well first base is an issue that I hope has been or will be adressed.

_ Coach told me Griffen's knee should be healthy enough to start behind the plate. His defense is too good, but his bat and knee will never be good enough to play the number of games Keefer played this year. Look for Griffen to share time behind the plate with Strentz,if he can hit college pitching well enough. His intangibles are too good not to be a good hitter. But Dillion Guillory killed the ball his senior year as well, so who knows what will happen in the fall. Adams will also get a chance, he is playing with Alexandria this summer in the Texas Collegiate League to get some work behind the plate and AB's. _

Thanks- I know Guillory has caught and I liked him at bat at he end of this season. If I had to pick right now who I would be confortable with catching and hitting it would be him. Of course I have not seen the other guys. 1st base and catcher are the top needs as I see them. I believe Marvel can catch and I think he will be much improved at the plate next year.Will be intresting.

I'd love to not see Guillory play.

Parrot, can you list the recruits that will be playing American Legion baseball this summer?
Thanks.
Go Cajuns!

Putting together the list now and hope to have something early next week.

I asked Coach Rob about playing Marvel behind the plate to give Keefer a break and he stated he will not be an option behind the plate. He will either help at 1B, DH or OF. The staff weren't enamored with his defense at first, so we didn't see him play there this year.

[LifeTimeCajun]

Has anyone heard if Jut will get a chance to further his career?

Hopefully he gets a chance as a non-drafted free agent. Some guys are just ready to turn a page and move on.
