It appears that Coach Robe has identified his starting weekend rotation... who will start the mid week games? Who will be his top 3 relievers? Who will be his go to closer?

Zimmerman, Geith and Satriano are the names as projected starters...
So, anybody have any news/thoughts on the mid week starters and top reliever and closer?
The surprise of those 3 to me is Zimmerman, but I thought that when he came here from UNO that he'd have a chance to compete for a starting spot from the start. I remember him pitching against us once or twice and thinking that he was a decent young pitcher, but just on a team that doesn't know how to use pitchers (UNO was all offense, no defense or pitching). With some good coaching, I think he could be a very solid weekend guy.
Zimmermann hasn't been drafted, but he was a two-time prep All-American. Robe liked his moxie while throwing at UNO, especially his outing against LSU last year. His experience as a starter gave him an early advantage to serve in that same role for the Cajuns after transferring to UL.
Zimmermann has all the stuff to be a strong SEC weekend guy. When I saw him this fall he was 90-92 with great command and 2 offspeed pitches including a change up that he can locate. Tough to judge a guy from one look, but I think he will be our best pitcher this year.
If he keeps that up all spring it will be tough for us to have him back next year.
