Louisiana Tabbed 15th In D1Baseball Recruiting Class Rankings

[angeleast]

the fact that baseball attendance will outshine all other sports will be over whelming.. from talking to fellow Cajun fans especially die hard baseball fans we are in for another special season with depth we have never had before

Received mine also. Is it me or did the prices go down this year?

I didn't see anything that went down. I am going to have to take out a small loan

Here, let me come in with my bucket of cold water.......

Keeping it real.....as of today, no one has won the first base, shortstop, third base or third outfield spot as of yet.

Last year, Tony said we'd have to grow our pitching and, of course, we did. This year, although we have a lot of JUCO's, there's virtually no D-1 experience there. We will have to grow our hitters.

There's a possibility we may struggle to score early in the season.

Now theres way too much talent for it to continue throughout.

But this team has a LOT of work to do. More than paper suggests.

How does Joe Robbins not have a strange hold on 3rd base after the way he played in the post season last year? Miracle worker over there...

[ManAboutTown]

Also, Kennon is a natural SS, but has struggled with the bat, until Baton Rouge. I would expect him to step up and own that position, but I could definitely see how it would be a work in progress.

Sensely (sp?) has to be the favorite at 1st right? Sacrifice offense for defense early in the year?

[BirdofParadise]

Well, he may have a strange hold, but he doesn't have a stranglehold LOL. I don't think anyone is suggesting Robbins won't be there. But Alex Pinero could be a double digit home run guy. It's also possible he (Pinero) might get worked at another position. They love Robbins. But getting Pinero's bat in the lineup is going to be a priority I think. But Pinero could also fall into the category I talked about in a prior post.

[MelRock]

Last season is last season, everyone and I mean everyone, will have to prove they deserve to be in the lineup.

[BirdofParadise]

It's that way every year. No one gets a free pass. You are correct.

That having been said, Thurman will catch. Clem and Trosclair will be in the lineup.

And.......that's all right now.
