2005Ragin' Cajuns Baseball RPI

[BirdofParadise]

I would take issue with the Pecoraro comment. He pitched well at times, but never had any control. His six walks in 1 2/3 innings in the conference tournament vs. MTSU is an example.

He's got good stuff, tho.

[CajunProud]

I know Pecarerro has control issues at times, but from what I have seen of the young arms this year I would rather have him out there right now.

Don't get me wrong, the young arms are very talented, just inexperienced.

I saw this a.m. on Boyd's World that our RPI is 22 and LSpuke is 27.

I still think we need to schedule bigger and better non-conference wise, even if it means traveling more. As a season ticket holder I would be disappointed, but I would still buy my season tickets because it would be for the benefit of the team to have the better schedule. I know it is hard to get quality teams to come here because they know we would kick their ~~~.

I would like to see Pecoraro see a little more action. He doesn't seem to be having control problems this year. So far he has 4 k and only 1 walk.

As far as scheduling, there is nothing we can do about this year but next year the belt will be a much better conference. For non conference, I don't think we want too hard of a schedule next year because I don't think the Cajuns are going to be very good. They will have a lot of talent but very little experience. The Cajuns will have to replace 1b, 2b, SS, 3b, CF, C and arguably our 5 best pitchers. That's 6 of 8 position players. Some of the guys who will end up at those positions don't attend UL right now.

I'm writing that down. I'll check wicha in a year.

The Cajuns will have to replace 1b...SS...C...

Do the names Tatford, Parker, and Lucroy sound familiar?

[Maverick]

I hope I'm wrong and please remind me if I am but I can't help but think that this team has a lot less returning than the 2001 and 2003 teams did.

[Dad04]

Oh, Oh, I have! Move one of this years corner OF's to CF and one of the 14 redshirts to the vacant corner and MIF. People don't realize that there are redshirts here that could be playing most other places. BTW we have signed a very nice switch hitting MIF from Tampa for next year.

[Maverick]

Do the names Tatford, Parker, and Lucroy sound familiar?

Yep. All very talented especially Tatford and Lucroy. But those are the easy three. Lets see you name the other three. How about the weekend rotation and closers? I'm not that worried about the position players, I think that will work itself out. The pitching has me a little worried. This will probably be the first time in a very long time that Cajuns won't be returning an ALL Conference caliber pitcher.

[Dad04]

I'll throw some names out. Watch for them next year. Hicks, Bounds, Will Long, Farquhar, Jeremy Lucroy, Chase Richard among others.

I sure they all have great potential but how much D1 playing time do they have. I didn't say the cajuns won't have talent, but I do think they will lack experiance. Can you tell me a little about these guys? I've heard a little about Lucroy.
