Who will be the Friday guy?
Who is the closer?
Is there a potential surprise starter?
Bullpen depth issues or concerns?

Nola or Eades

Wide open for now but I think Rumbelow might get first crack at it.

Have pitchers pitch in practice to find out who looks good, and then try a couple of guys out in February?

You should check some of the other baseball threads, but since you asked...

Friday starter - Nola - people may say it's between him and Eades, but after listening to Mainieri the other night, I think it's safe to say its Nola.

A surprise starter could come on Sunday. No one is penciled in, but look for Bonvillan and McCune to get first cracks.

IMO this is the deepest LSU bullpen I can remember since I've been a fan.

Closer - Rumbelow will probably get 1st crack, but I eventually think someone else goes into that role.

Friday - Nola
Saturday - Eades
Sunday - will not matter because we will have won the series by now.
Lineup - better hitting for power and more lefties.
Losses - Nola and Hanover at third and short will hurt in the field, but should be upgraded at the plate.

Thats all I got.

I'd love to see a freshman like Reynolds or Sewald step up and take the Sunday job

As mentioned already, Nola/Eades for Fri/Sat.

Cotton in mix for Sun/Closer.

I've heard that earlier in the year LaMarche had a legit shot at closer. Not sure how true that is now.

We'll be picking a lot of Cotton this season.

I talked to Ryan Eades a few days ago. Nola fri, Eades Saturday. Sunday pitcher is still open and so is closer.
