re: Is Jason Kelly legit?

Floyd wasn't a freshman. Neither was Money, Cooper, Hasty, Fontenot, Vietmier, Reyzleman, Collins, Gervase, or Hilliard.

I never claimed any of those players were freshmen. I was responding to this comment, "We had several talented freshman come in last year and 1 barely seen the field and other 2 underperformed" to give reasoning for their fall off toward the end of the season.

We did not have the starting pitching this year, what they did with this staff to be 4th in the SEC in era with the lack of starting pitching was quite impressive

Due to the lack of starting pitching we taxed the bullpen too much and as Kelly said it was unsustainable. But to be able to mix and match the pitching staff with the lack of starting pitching is impressive.

My only point is there are some red flags.

What was the red flag? How would you have handled the staff differently? They tried to go the portal route to find starting pitching but there just was not any. And with the pitchers we had on staff there might very well be pitchers with the potential to be good starters but they were not ready.

The one promising observation is that Floyd got better as the year went on. Him, Taylor, and Dutton look to have a bright future as long as they continue to develop.
