Long article
quote:

Alex Bregman took batting practice on a beach and hit baseballs into the clearest water he’s ever seen.

He had to wear sleeves in July, bussed around North Carolina and played in a ballpark where the scoreboard featured a photo of Fidel Castro.

“Had a blast,” the LSU shortstop said.

Bregman spent six weeks of his summer with the USA national team, traveling to Cuba and the Netherlands with a group of fellow college baseball stars and learning along the way — about more than baseball.

“We got off the plane in Cuba, and one of the ladies who’s one of our tour guides said, ‘Y’all embarrassed us last year. This country’s embarrassed. Every single person on the island will be watching, and we will win,’” Bregman said.

“I said, ‘Oh, wow.’”

LSU begins fall practice Monday, the start to a six-week fall season expected to help coach Paul Mainieri formulate his starting infield and weekend rotation for the 2015 season.

The "Fire Miles" new threads bumped this thread off the first page of The Rant in about 10 minutes.

That's sad......

I'm interested to see how the right side of the infield and catcher play out this fall. We could have 2 freshman start on that side of the field sometime this season.

The whole infield, except for Bregman, is still up in the air. Should be an interesting fall.

Yeah we know Bregs as SS
I think Hale will be at 2B or 3B I'm guessing 3B
2B and 1B I have no Idea. Kramer has the experience but he has to show more at the plate.

I'm also looking forward to see if the new ball flies as much farther as the initial reports claim it does. Frankly it's one of the reasons I plan on attending as many practices as I can this fall.

I like hale at 2 and maybe the diechman (sp?) at 3rd. We need a dinger on the infield.

Very true, the new ball could make a big difference throughout the season. I'm looking forward to practice reports.

my guess is you can only follow if you are at the stadium correct?
