[QUOTE="GTJon, post: 940296, member: 4007"] I thought I'd pose a question on the positives and negatives so far in the season just to see where people's thoughts are (and not devolve into a never ending discussion on firing CDH and CDB as it seems like every baseball discussion turns into on other GT boards): Positives: -offense better than I had hoped coming into the year. Still slugging out some big numbers even with all the lost production of last year (and with Compton without a HR yet) -unexpected significant contributions on offense of Rubenstein and Finley -back end of bullpen (Duh!). King and Busse have made leads seem safer in the later innings than any other year in recent memory -seem to have weathered the storm on injuries. 14-6, 3-3 (having played likely our toughest ACC series) and now have all players back from injury except McGuire. -seem to have about 7 pitchers you can count on fairly well (Busse, King, Stephens, Finley, Carwile, Schmolke, Brown). Hill may make that 8 now. Maybe McGuire and Finateri can get in that group by May. Negatives: -still a total crapshoot on weekend starting pitcher. No horse than you know you can throw out there every week and get you 6-7 innings, save the bullpen, and have you in it every week against a tough pitcher. -lots of inconsistency in bullpen. King and Busse have been outstanding. After that, you never know with any one else what to get from game to game. -defense questionable at inopportune times. We've had some key blunders that have cost us some of those losses. Need to tighten that up. -a little disappointed in how little the freshman class has shown. With all the injuries we had, I was hoping at least we'd see some good development and promise from the freshmen, especially with such a highly regarded class. However, Senese and Schmolke so far are probably the only 2 that come to mind as taking advantage of the opportunity so far. -along those lines, we are still not showing a lot of depth for the future. Again this year, based on our recent lineups, we are likely to lose 6 of 9 hitters in the offseason for next year, including pretty much all our power. All in all, about as good as I can hope right now. We may have played our easiest and toughest ACC series of the year already. Glad WF is not on the schedule as that helps a little. Still feel pretty good about making a regional, but hosting doesn't seem likely without some big pitching improvements. [/QUOTE]
