Baseball 2011 - Starting Rotation - Relievers

[Parrott]

I believe Zimmerman has been drafted before so he has pro potential.

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.

I don't think this is etched in stone. And, I don't think Robe gave me that on the show.

when I spoke to him earlier in the week he said he had not decided on opening night starter. Zimmerman was mentioned but so were a few others.

The media kit mentions those three as well.

Not saying it won't happen, but I don't think that's a done deal yet,unless he finalized it in the last day or so.

Did Coach Robe mention who he is thinking will be his top relievers and closer?

I like Bulliard, Duhon, Hicks, and Wascom out of the pen. And I like Parker to be the closer if he does not become a starter. I think Parker may have the best stuff on the team!

I also like for possibly Traffica and Nicholson to crack into the weekend or mid-week rotation. If they don't they will be long relievers.

So my top 2 potential closers are Wascom and Parker.

Don't forget about Hubbell, I think that he will be our primary lefthanded option out of the bullpen if he isn't used as a starter. The guy can be downright filthy when he is on and I think he could be our closer if he isn't used in the role of situational lefty. Watch for hubbel to be a huge contributor for the cajuns next season.

Your right, when I went to the roster I guess I thought of him as a starter but you are right I believe he will be a long left handed reliever on the weekends.

Looks like we are experienced and deep on the bump! Coach Robe has many viable options to go to. Let's hope all our guys stay healthy and continue to get better as the season goes along... Geaux Cajuns!

I get ya, its hard to think of certain guys out of the roles they were used in last year. For instance, its hard to think of Satriano as a starter just because he was so nails as a late inning reliever last year. With that said, if he has the endurance to go 6-7 innings a game, that is the guy I think has the most potential to be all conference.
