We need to tap the brakes a bit. It seems that injuries have been a problem for us in recent years. We will probably lose guys to season-ending injuries and/or nagging injuries (Noot, Shores, Taylor, etc). Some guys may not develop like we would like (Christian Little).

We don't even really know who our Friday night starter will be by year end. Hurd was pitching well at the end of this year, but he was inconsistent during the year. Does he step up, or does he step back? He seems to need to have confidence in his stuff to thrive.

We had a lot of arms going into last year, as well. Think how good that staff would have been with Taylor, Shores, Edwards, and Noot at the end of the year... The potential is there, but we need to be patient and let it play out.

You're right. We shouldn't be excited about next year even off the heels of a National Championship and a day after getting a commitment from a weekend starter.

frick us for being fans.

We didn’t know who our Friday night starter was going to be this time last year either.

Jay has accrued enough talent for us to feel confident whoever it is is going to be a true ace.

Tap the brakes on what? Taking guesses on the rotation?

And yet we won a championship
