Is Texas going after Travis Sanders?

I sure hope so. Wonder if he’d be ok with playing 2B ? (Assuming Mendoza goes pro)

I'll be relieved (no pun intended) if Cozart does come back for next season. I would not be surprised to see him drafted.

He’s not draft eligible

I was thinking 

2 OF

2 IF

1 C

3-5 P

 

We need to be significantly better at 1B, 2B, 3B, and CF next year 

This is my thought too but doubt Mendoza gets upgraded but Borba,Larson, and timo need to be upgraded and one two of the OF positions

He's just a freshman. Not eligible for the draft.

I meant Beccera.  Good defender but can’t hit. I like Mendoza

[Blaise Allen]

It’ll be interesting to see what we do with the arms this offseason

Sounds like Cozart is management material. 

[Califashorn75]

Our outfield needs major improvements defensively.

Any interest in Lauaki from Oregon?

He’s my crush DH.  But if I could only have one Oregon portal player, give me Laya.

It seems that with some development in the fall (weight room and on the field), Walls could become the Sunday starter. Effortless delivery, live arm, quality pitches, Sophomore that could be a Friday or Saturday guy come 2028.

Walls could be a starter or reliever. He might be able to close. 

Two starters should be Volantis and Cozart.

Other starter candidates beside Walls include:

• Winter, RHP 
• Crossland, RHP
• Kaleb Rogers, RHP
• Jack McKernan, LHP
• Jason Flores, RHP (portal candidate but would love to see him harness that 98 MPH fastball)

Maybe another current freshman or 2 might be ready.

And that doesn’t include the incoming freshman pitchers that could start or relieve. There could be 7 freshman pitchers or more make it to campus once the MLB draft is done.

We wouldn't have made it to Omaha without Robbins and Tinney, but they both wilted when the lights were brightest.

They were at the top of the order for a reason and it wasn't to strike out on three pitches in any AB.

...or committing 3 errors in three games.
