.45s

I am glad to see Luke back. He may be ready to go, but I wonder how ready. Only a few weeks ago Pierce said that Luke had just thrown his first pitch to a live batter. Luke was really good as a freshman and I was expecting him to really progress last year. Unfortunately, his elbow didn't cooperate. Regarding Charlie Hurley, he sure was shaky early on in the alumni game. I hope that is a one off thing. If Charlie really has progressed and LBJ hasn't regressed that would be a pretty good 1-2 punch. If Witt can return to some semblance of his old form or one or two of these other guys step up we should have an outstanding staff as far as starters go. It will also be interesting to see where Thomas winds up (1B?) and who starts in the outfield. Too many freshman in the outfield makes me uncomfortable.
