I'm not quite sold on Angelakos in the weekend rotation. We didn't really see him against any all that great offenses this season. I'm down for giving him a chance to win the job in the fall, but ideally I'd like to see us portal somebody in to go with Blakely and Underwood. I just don't know...

I think I know my answer, but do we cheer for OU or Kansas now? (Assuming that you can handle even thinking about anything college baseball right now - which I completely understand if you can't) While there is something to be said to losing to the team that wins or all that hoopla, I just...

I mostly live this life too. My parents, who raised me playing pretty much every sport and doing some sport year round (mostly baseball once I got to the point where I determined it was my main interest), moved south and my wife and in-laws have zero interest in sports. Nobody in the family...

* Back up catcher - I think we're good here with Stephenson (assuming he stays), Coupet, and now Eli Stephens if that crystal ball comes true (Stephens will play OF, but can catch) * Back up 3B, Back up 2B/SS - I do think we'll grab some IF (likely at least 1 starter at either SS or 2B imo)...

Some players from local schools in the portal

Another Houston County kid. Came in as a catcher, but played mostly RF this season at Mercer. Was hitting 3rd or 4th consistently by the end of the season. https://mercerbears.com/sports/baseball/roster/eli-stephens/12149 https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=619935

Looks like the link may be broken now, but this is what I was trying to share:

You guys just won't let this thread die eh?

Would be ideal.

I think I would've started Angelakos with a really short leash. Patel would've been my second choice though - only because of his past struggles with starting. I'm not sure what his deal is, but he just never seemed to be the same dude when he was starting. I warned everybody about Ballard's...

We've had many do it, but the jump from high school SS to starting in the ACC SS is a big jump. Me thinks the same about Galasan, but also think we may have our eye on someone in the portal too.

My pleasure. We're gonna get some arms. It's gonna happen. Loy and Shadek were pretty solid pickups last season. Then being able to get Willcox and Underwood to campus. The ball is starting to roll. It's gonna pick up steam after what we did this season imo.

Yep d1b has him in too. Interesting considering we're losing Kerce. Tells me we already have plans for SS. Or Dee wasn't enjoying Tech. Who knows.

Yeah, also Barfield wouldn't have run in if it wasn't his intent. It's not like those guys are actually sitting there not knowing what the plan is. Ramsey doesn't make up his mind when he's out there on the mound. They have walkie talkies where they're communicating the whole game between the...

Multiple potential weekend starters imo. We'll have Blakely. I wouldn't say I'm sold on anybody else currently on the roster as a sure fire starter though. I want Cooper and Charlie to be given every shot, but no guarantees. If they both even stay. Agree on CF. Even if the freshmen seem like...

Rogers is gonna stay at catcher. I have no doubt about that. He's really good defensively. Stephenson, I have no idea. He looks super athletic. He's listed as C/OF, but with him being the main bullpen catcher, I'm not sure he's gotten to work there much. Our only real OF need is CF though and...

I'm not so sure I'm that high on Rogers. I know Ramsey has said as much, but he's got some holes in that swing he needs to fix. Hopefully you're right and Ramsey has him right next season. Also, Rogers got more playing time as a freshman. Stephenson got 4 at bats. Kids wanna play. I just saw...

Hope you're right, but I'm also not sure that's the draw you think it is. We got lucky Rogers was willing to sit. I'm not sure we'll get so lucky with Stephenson. If we commit to him being DH or at least telling him we think he'll have a great shot at getting that DH role maybe though.

I mean I expect the portal to be pretty active again, but if I had to base it on right now: C: Rogers 1B: Schmidt 2B: Baker 3B: Pantier (JUCO transfer) SS: Dee/Galason/TBD transfer LF: Daniel CF: TBD transfer or freshman? Don't think we have a true CF on the roster after Drew. RF: Lewis DH...
