Cajun Baseball

[JMV JustMyView]

I invite all memebers who have been around Cajuns baseball for a while to rank this current team versus past teams. Be honest. I think from top to bottom we can achieve what the 2000 team did.

[Turner]

Best Ever regular season team.

[Rebel02]

Best Ever regular season team.

Season ain't over yet. Don't get ahead of yourself.

We Are On Current Pace To Break School Record. However That Dont Mean _____ If We Do Not Make Major Noise In The Post Season. There Is Still Alot Of Season Left But I Like What I Have Seen So Far.

[Turbine]

Best Ever regular season team.

Up to this point... you nailed it.

[CajunProud]

Top to bottom, pitching through hitting, best we have had. The teams we had back when Papo Ramos played were pretty talented as well.

[Crawfish]

I think the SOS may have been a bit tougher in 2000 and even in 1999. This team is good, but they still have a lot of season left. We will see.. I am hopeful though.

My comparison of 2000 v.s. 2005

Starting Pitching: Adv. 2000 more quility depth
Relief Pitching: Adv. 2000 Gordon O'Brian was awesome
First Base: Big Adv. 2005 Hawke and Tatford much better than Poche
Second Base: Slight Adv. to 2000 Ryan Gill was a gamer
Short Stop: Tie Rick Hydal was a clutch player but there is depth with Cockrell and Parker
Third Base: Tie Nathn Nelson and Morris pretty equal
Left Field: Adv. 2005 Landry better all round player than Will Hawkins
Center Field: Slight Adv. 2005 Feehan was a gamer but Coker may be the best defensive outfilder we have had and is very fast
Right Field: Adv. 2005 McCarthy better all round player than Tommy Clark
Catcher: Adv. 2000 Massiatte was a leader and a great player, with Morgan I still can't believe what I am seeing
DH: Big Adv. 2005 Tatford and Lucroy much much better than Larry Jarvis and Scott A.
Bench: Big Adv. 2005 this year's team has quality depth at every position

The major strengths of the 2000 club was pitching, hitting for power, and the team was made up of gamers. Weakness may have been consistent hitting.

The major strenghts of the 2005 club is starting pitching if Cockrell is for real, team speed, depth at every position, and every 1-9 can hit. Weakness is the jury may still be out on Cockrell and we may need a 4th starter. Scham is great against righties and struggles against lefties. Coker strikes way to much for a lead-off hitter.

[Square Head]

This team has more talent than the 1999 or 2000 team, however they do not yet have the "swager" of those two teams.

I'm really excited about what I have seen up to this point....Still a lot of games left to play...

My Own Comparison Of 2000vs2005

Starting Pitchers: Adv 2000//dohmann,gros,gabriel,templet,webb We Had Five Potent Starters//only Two On 2005 Team

Relief Pitchers: Adv 2000//welborne,bullinger,obrien They Were Lights Out//just More Depth Than 2005 Sham Is Feast Or Faming

1st Base: Adv 2005//hawke And Tafford Way Better Than Poche And Atwood//they Are More Consitent

2nd Base: Tie 2000 Had Gill And Simoneaux Both Of Them Drafted Although Gill Was Drafted As A Pitcher, Gill Played A Variety Of Position So Really Hard To Judge, Dino Is Scrappy And A Real Team Leader

Shortstop: Adv 2005 Haydel Was Clutch But Also Inconsintent, 2005 Cockrell And Parker Provide More Depth

3rd Base: Tie Nelson Had Better Avg And Speed, But Moriss More Power And Better Defense

Catcher: Adv 2005 Massiatte Was The Best Ever Both Off And Def Wise, But 2005 Is Solid Lucroy Will Be Special, Morgan Is The True Team Player And Has Been A Good Surprise His Def Skills Are Off The Chart, Adam As Played Well At Times. 2oo5 Way More Depth, 2000 On Danny And Justin Boyd Who Didnt Even Play

Left Field: Adv 2005 Landry Is Better Than Hawkins And Really Is Solid All Across The Board

Center Field: Slight Adv 2000 Feehan Played Four Years While Coker Only Two Coker Srugeled Last Year But Has Played Well This Year And Could Be The Fastest Cajun Every

Right Field: Adv 2005 Mcarthy Has Been The Best Surprise This Year, Clark Was More Of A Power Guy And If The Umpires Would Have Got The Call Right Clark Didnt Trap The Ball Against Stanford We Would Have Been National Champs In 2000 Whe Would Have Been Unstoppable Had Phil Devey And Jeff Robinson Came Back For There Sr Years
