[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 861161, member: 322"] X was our best pitcher as a Fr. He is probably the best pitcher we've had drafted in many years. But as a Fr had a 5.23 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. No way he starts on this team IMHO. I think very very few pitchers have a big impact ([I]on elite teams[/I]) in their Fr year. I think the biggest impact a FR can have is generally with his bat. My thought about impact on a team was that it largely depends on the team's needs. Getting another stud catcher in this year wouldn't help us much, but having a gold glove third baseman would. Anyway, here's why my expected goal is to get to a Super Regional. Of course I'd like for us to get to Omaha but unlike Charlie Brown, I ain't expecting the football to be there to kick. We have a lot of talent, but most elite teams do too. I posted elsewhere how several of the CWS teams from last year considerably strengthened their rosters through transfers. We've been a national seed 7 times since 1999. Went to Omaha once. [I]Three of seven times we didn't even stinking win our own regional. About half the national seeds go on to the CWS. [/I] This is why I have the "Charlie Brown" syndrome and am setting my goals lower.
