Alright - Let's Talk About 2015 Baseball

How will we shape up relative to other teams in the SEC and how will we compare as a team to the previous few years?

If we can get everyone here from our recruiting class we'll have a team that can make a run at a CWS title. Would help if Broussard and Moore come back too.

excluding our best pitcher in Nola.

I think he was the staff. It will be dependent on whether PM can manage a few or those highly ranked pitchers out of high school. We won't know what the hitting will be like until about the 40th game after PM has experimented with the lineup.

But we always meet a lower team every year with 25 outstanding pitchers who are better than us and players who cant make the higher ranked teams roster but beat us in most fazes of the game. Very puzzling.

Poche will be a great Friday night starter
Bouman has really improved since the start of SEC play and he could be a great Saturday Starter
Sunday could be the ? but I think Cartwright could be a good sunday starter.

Hitting will be very strong

from what I have heard we have a strong hitting class coming in.

C Scivicque will be a good hitter if not great
1B Moore could be back next year if he is another strong bat in our lineup
2B Hale or maybe Krob. Hale has a great bat and he will bat in this lineup, the only question is if Krob is still around does he play 2B at all
SS Bregs, well nothing more I need to say here
3B probably a new comer here, but Zardon could also play here
RF laird even though I think there isa chance he goes pro, he has always been a good lead off guy for us
CF Stevenson, very pleasant surprise this year for us.
LF Fraley, our most exciting freshman this year.
DH I guess a newcomer but Scivicque could see time here.

We only have to fill 3B maybe RF if Laird goes pro, and that is about it.

We shouldn't lose that many arms in our bullpen. Broussard may go pro, Nola obviously goes pro, Fury and McCune are seniors, so outside of them we don't have that much to replace.

So I would say next year we should be near the top of the SEC again and hopefully get a top 8 seed. If Bouman and Cartwright improve as they should we could be very good with our rotation.

2015 should be a good year for the baseball tigers.

We'll miss this guy's defense at 3B.

No thanks.
