Paywall. Cliffs?

Here you go:

Pitching -

- Hurd, Holman, & Jump are looking to be the weekend rotation, with Herring and Ackenhausen being mentioned as possibilities to start.
- Cam Johnson to be developed and likely a backend of games arm for now.
- Guidry will focus on pitching (end of games) again this season, but they will continue to develop him as a 2-way player, which could be used for situational purposes when rosters are reduced to 27 for SEC play.
- Loer, Woods, Herring, Ack, Little, Moffett, Primeaux, Dutton, & Bucknam look to be the primary bull pen arms in addition to the 2 listed above.
- Anderson could be a contributor in the pen as well.
- For those keeping count, that is a total of 12 bull pen arms mentioned in addition to the already strong starting rotation. That is stupid deep for college.

Lineup/Position -

- Confirmed the Pearson to 2B move and looks to be solid there.
- Neal will still be a primary catching option; but they will develop some options by having him work 4 other positions (2B, 3B, corner OF)
- Confirmed Brown is the front-runner for starting OF position, with Kling & Bingham as definite starters. H/e, he mentioned Frey, Ruddell, and Larson all will have opportunities to try and grab the position, especially if Brown struggles.
- Brown will remain a 2-way player & could still pitch some; but the focus this year will be as a position player & hitter.

Injuries/Roster (Redshirts) -

- White still on good pace for recovery and expected to be 100% by Opening Day. Currently hitting and throwing every other day. I suspect we will see him only on a limited basis for spring scrimmages.
- Hope to have Noot back by late March/early April. Pushing to have Shores back later in the season.
- Seo and Lape will receive medical RS's due to pre-existing injuries before arriving, which is an interesting statement given that Seo did begin the fall pitching in a scrimmage.
- Cooley, Dale, & Thompson will be redshirted.
- With those 5, that should get LSU to the 40 roster limit.
