Lots of people, including myself, are excited about JaCoby Jones and Spencer Ware. Another highly touted HS senior may make his debut next season. Evan Powell from Sam Houston has been committed for a while. If he makes it to campus will he see significant ABs? Everything I've read has him moving to catcher. I don't think it would be to hard to take some time from Ross.

Hell, Snikeris is slowly taking AB's from Ross (IMHO)

Like Les, Paul Mainieri doesn't play Freshmen.....

I do like the young guys on the team. JaCoby Jones is playing well. .536 BA is unreal. Ross and Snikeris are both playing well behind the plate.

This is a fun team to watch.

Definitely want to see more plate production from the catcher position. Neither Ross or Snikeris have an XBH yet this year. I guess we could afford one poor bat on the team with how everyone else has been hitting especially if it means a good guy behind the plate, but our lineup would be an absolute nightmare all the way through if Ross or Snikeris became forces at the plate.

JaCoby Jones has been more than advertised. Dude is hitting for a higher average this year so far than he did in high school (still very early on, but 9 games into the season impressive nonetheless).

Our lineup looks even that much better when you have guys like Spencer Ware (OF) or Mike Lowery (INF) that are able to come off the bench and give you production at the plate.
