I think talent-wise we'll be close to last season, but there will be some definite growing pains, especially when SEC play starts.

Someone said it best in here when they mentioned we could be deeper than last season but won't be as strong at the top-end talent-wise.

Agreed. Most of the big names from last year are gone, but the overall depth should hopefully be better.

Having players that go 1-2 in the MLB draft make being as strong as the top end pretty much impossible.

Is this team good enough to win the SEC? Host a super? Make it back to Omaha? Win it all again? Have the best pitching staff in the nation?

I think the answer to all of those is most certainly yes.

It will be a different looking team though for sure. We don't have an auto win on Friday, but I think that will balance itself out with having a huge pitching advantage on Saturday and Sunday most weekends. We certainly can hit as many HRs as last year, but that's no guarantee. Defensively we should be as good, or better. I think we certainly have more speed and will run a lot more.

I think overall this will be a more talented team than last year. That doesn’t equate to being better though.

Op, while being a dumbass, does have somewhat of a point. Experience is a hard thing to replace and while the replacements for guys like Beloso and Dugas probably have more talent it’s hard to replace that experience without growing pains.
