I really don't think there is a solution as far as LH bats go this season. It will be a RH heavy lineup because the best hitter will be RH. We would all like more LH bats, but other guys will produce more that are RH. Time will tell on Neal, Brown, and even guys like Larson and Milam who still isn't completely out of the competitions and are more LH bats.

Oh it’ll be RH heavy for sure

He’s going to be one of the the closers on this team. I can promise you he is not down the order
I'm not saying he sucks, and won't pitch. I just think we have some arms that will be better than him this year. We didn't last year.

Name two right handed bullpen options on this team you would bring in the 9th inning over Guidry.
Well throwing in right handed bullpen really narrows that list down. Our two best right handed arms will be starters. Outside of that we are loaded with lefties. A lot of those lefties are who I believe will push him down the pecking order a bit.
Again, I'm not saying I think he sucks and won't pitch.

Jay trusted him at the back end of games as a freshman and I don't think that will change this season.
There were very very few options last season though. That should not be the case this year. That was my point.

Either Tanner Boyle or Timmy Lupus. Not sure who Walter Matthau will put in.
Word is Kelly Leak wants to play short. All that wind in center keeps blowing out his Marlboros.

I agree that there will be plenty more options this year. I understand your point but I still think Jay thinks highly of Guidry in that closer role and he will have the first opportunity at it. At least that is what Jay made it sound like in that interview he did with Rabalais and Koki Riley someone reference on another thread.

You said “but I think there are a lot of dudes who will be ahead of him on this team.”

Again, who’s a better right handed reliever on our roster right now? I’m arguing against your two statements in 1) he is not going to get many innings 2) down in the pecking order this year

CJJ has said, numerous times, that he purposedly kept Guidry off the mound in the Fall to give his arm a good rest. Have seen several pre season forecast videos & CJJ talks about Guidry in every one. With what he did during the regionals & especially in Omaha, with that level of experience / success there is no way he doesn't pitch somewhere in the rotation this coming season.

Upon advise from my lawyer I would strongly suggest they do.
