Moore didn't get enough opportunities vs. lefties
Last year.
Because he couldn't hit them the year before or whenever they took BP. He can't hit lefties as good as righties. Otherwise he would be a solid top ten round draft pick IMO
Still, no one compares to Jared Foster when it comes to arm strength

Why Hale and not Fraley? What did I miss there?
Kramer Robertson is going to be the sleeper of this class even though he is a highly touted recruit. Kade Civicque too

How do we project at the plate this year? Power, contact, or a great combination of both?

CPM's niece is dating my 2nd cousin's son so I ran into him at a family party last weekend and he said Kade is a boss. He said that. It was epic.
He said we should probably start buying the Kade is Boss shirts for Feb

Im aware. That was my dream lineup

Any word on who is going to be given first crack at closing?
Posted on 1/24/14 at 4:21 pm to TJG210
Likely Brady Domangue who played the last 2 years for LSUE.

This and catcher are what I am most interested in. We have a lot of new faces in the infield that may get interesting early on in the season as they get shuffled about. Ty More might be a strong look at catcher, but if he does have trouble with lefties I don't see him starting even vs RHP because it would seem you would want consistency behind the plate for your pitchers.
On the other side, we have two solid looking starters, if we can find even a serviceable Sunday guy, we might end up with one of the best rotations in the SEC. Having a dependable closer would only strengthen that, though.
Here's to an early baseball season less cold than it is today!

I came out of the fall with the idea that we’d end up playing a freshman at second base, either (Danny) Zardon or (Kramer) Robertson. We had recruited a kid named Conner Hale, thinking he could replace Christian Ibarra at third. What happened is Christian was drafted in the 32nd round and decided to come back for his senior year, which we were happy about. So we decided we’re going to flip Hale over to first base and put a third baseman at first base. And with (his) infield skills (he) is going to be an outstanding first baseman, and I think Hale could do that. But I’m starting to think also that I might want to give one of those catchers a shot (at first base). If that’s the case, I might slide Conner Hale over to second base and use one of those catchers at first base. That’s not an indictment on Zardon and Robertson. I love both of those kids, and I think both are good ballplayers that are going to have great careers here. But it’s very difficult to thrust a freshman into the SEC at LSU and expect them to perform like seasoned veterans. At some point, I think Zardon and Robertson could be a sparkplug for our team if we need that spark at some point. I’m just not sure … a lot can happen in the next three weeks. After three weeks, I might say, ‘You know what? Those young kids are better every day than one of the other catchers at first base, and I might move Hale back to first. Or Hale might not perform up to speed and I might not even play him. That’s still a little bit of a work in progress, that right side of the infield.
Mainieri said in the Advocate interview above that Connor Hale was going to 2nd and that Robertson and Zardon were not in the lineup. Why are you projecting Robertson in the lineup? I like Kramer's bat and his glove and don't think he will stay on the bench long, but has anyone heard something from Mainieri that is different from his statements in the Advocate article?

No. He said it was another possibility. Connor hasn't seen any time at 2B yet. They're going to look at him there. That doesn't take away from KRob's fall and the possibility that he does just as well. That's why we call this a projection.

Pretty sure Tyler Moore will be behind the plate.
After Fall ball, he was the front runner ahead of Scivique. I'm guessing we may have seen the last of Chinea behind the plate, barring an emergency.

Only problem is that all three of those guys aren't outstanding defensively with the exception of hopefully chinea. I heard he has done well recently.

I would love to see some Freshmen step up this season. College baseball has completely changed and it is geared towards defensive players than offensive studs so the Andrew Stevenson's and the Ty Ross's of the world become major players.
But also, Freshmen. Last year, the Freshmen All-American teams were just plain sick. I think the chances will be there for these incoming Freshmen if they can just realize it and work really hard to go grab it
