Not sure how the SEC conference scheduling works in college baseball compared to football. Avoiding LSU until possibly the conference tournament and/or NCAA tournament is nice as well.

Position player preseason depth question. These seem like the locks for expected contributors: OF: Robbins, Pack, Larson, and Williams MIF: Rodriguez and Mendoza Corners: Beccera, Borba, Livingston C - Tinney Who are the next few guys who we could see? I'll start it off with my non-expert expectations, but please chime in! Most likely to DH or pinch hit, not listed above: Ermis? Backup C - Ermis Fourth OF: already covered above. Strong 4-deep. MIF depth: Beccera (over Duplantier) Pinch runner: Pendergrass (over Duplantier) @Blake Munroe @CJ Vogel @Jeff Howe Edited February 8 by AZ Longhorn C-colon-space gets autochanged to an emoji?! 2 Quote
Jerry K Posted February 8 Posted February 8 We’re all entitled to our own opinions. Not to be disrespectful but I can’t get on board with “Omaha or bust”. That’s saying it will be a failed season if they only make a super regional. I realize there’s deep talent and one of the best coaching staffs in the country but they do play in the SEC and this season’s schedule is brutal and, in my opinion not being talked about enough.

Hornmatic Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Thanks for the baseball coverage! The boys talked around and hinted at, but never directly said, what I’ve been thinking. ARod could be an outright liability at SS. I don’t have many concerns about this team, love the pitching for sure. But Rodriguez at Short and back of the lineup are two. 1 Quote

I just don’t the season would be bust if they don’t make Omaha given the schedule as long as they make a deep postseason run. 1 Quote

Interesting — I hadn't made the connection between his hand injury and his defensive development. But duh, haha! I am still not sold that he can hold down short: not just hands and arm strength (potential hand injury impacts) but athleticism and feel and command. I feel Beccera is better there, but you make accommodations for your stars and give him a chance to grow into an even better draft eval. Quote
