re: Lange, Poche, Valek 15-6

Valek is probably LSU's nice surprise this year. He has great control and has done well as Bain and Smith were the favorites for the third spot. He has been very consistent thru the year. Poche has better "stuff" and isn't far behind Valek in consistency. Lange frankly is the biggest disappointment. Pre season AA and for good reason. Great performance last year and awesome stuff, but is struggling to throw strikes. Bullpen is questionable other than Newman. Cartwright was a loss. The others are hit and miss but Bugg is improving. Definitely an interesting season from expectations.
