re: LSU Baseball Summer League Destinations

I've updated the OP to reflect the new assignments that came out today, and to remove transferring players.

A couple of guys made their summer debuts over the weekend.

CJ Willis went 2 fo3 yesterday with a triple, a SF, and a couple RBIs.

Rye Gunter threw 1 inning. Gave up a hit to the first batter, then induced a double play and struck out the next guy. Promising outing for him.

Kramer hit .200 and .220 his first 2 seasons at LSU before doing a 180. There are a lot of parallels between Kramer and Hal. Hopefully Hal continues the same career trajectory.

Kramer and Hal had completely different high school careers.
One was a stud in high school, the other was average.

haven't found his spot yet. I thought he was on the post season roster though.

He wasn’t for the Regionals but was on the roster for true Super.

We're only sending 2 pitchers out for the summer, not counting the incoming JUCO transfer who hasn't yet thrown for his summer team.

Costello is relatively new to pitching (compared to other guys on the roster) and could use the innings to sharpen up. He's got good stuff, but needs the work on being able to keep it in the zone.

Gunter threw less than 10 innings for us this past season. He also needs game action. He's a candidate to be an "out of nowhere" contributor next season based on the way he finished this year, striking out a bunch of guys and touching the mid 90s with his fastball in Hoover.

There would be some merit to the argument if we were talking about Marceaux, Henry, Fontenot, etc. But when guys don't get game action during the season, they need live innings in the summer for development.

Chase Costello was activated today for the Kokomo Jackrabbits, so he may see action soon.

CJ Willis is starting off well for the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters. He's got a home run and a triple against only 2 strikeouts through three games.

Rye Gunter had another good showing yesterday in the PGCBL, getting a win in 1.1 innings of relief. He's got a 1.29 WHIP and 2 Ks in 2.1 IP.

Cade Doughty has been the best of the incoming freshmen so far, but all 4 have done well.

None of the players in the Cape Cod League have been activated yet.

.270-.280 range? Lol

Hal Hughes and Daniel Cabrera have been activated for the Harwich Mariners. We should see them starting their summer season this weekend, possibly as early as tonight.

The other guys going to the Cape will probably be activated soon as well, maybe even today.

ETA: Gavin Dugas has been activated for Yarmouth-Dennis.

I haven't seen anything as to why he hasn't been activated yet. I think he went home to Texas for a bit, based on what I saw on Twitter the other day. But it looks like he's still planning on playing in the Cape, so I guess it could be any day now that he starts.

ETA: Also, after one outing Chase Costello is no longer on his summer league team.

I was told he got here to Baton Rouge this past Monday. He had a Doctor's appointment on Tuesday to take an X-Ray on his foot to see if they would clear him to play. The last 3 weeks of the season he was playing with a broken big toe on his foot. I was told he flew out yesterday to the Cape.
