I just hate to see so much power like that get cut. Dude is big.

I just don't get some people's love affair with Ochinko. I think he would be better used as a reserve catcher and pinch hitter.


I'd rather Gaudet at 1b, Ochinko is short.

they're going to rotate ochinko and gibbs at first base and catcher. whichever one isn't at first will play catcher.

This doesn't make any sense...Gaudet should be at 1st if they're cutting Davis.

but they want to have both gibbs and ochinko in the lineup all the time. so this is the only way to do it.

1st of all Gibbs will not play at first during the year... he will catch pretty much every meaningul inning. Secondly i see ochinko really stepping it up this year. He seems like he wants to step into a leadership role

I'd like that if Dean can field well out there.

guarantee Gibbs will not play a meaningful inning at first. Just bc they're putting him over there a few innings during intersquads does not mean he will play there come season

Zeigler is better than all of them at first, and probably as good a hitter. Put him at first.

Jones wasnt even a part of the roster anyway. So he cant get cut since he isnt on the team.

The roster right now is 38 (without Jones).

I have been to many scrimmages this past fall as well and NO ONE knows who will be cut. It will come down to the final day of fall.

the roster cuts want be made until december when grades come out. If no one bust out the roster does not have to be at 35 until Feb.. NCAA rules are really hurting the kids who are in need of development. Now you have a team with players who would never make it in today's rules but are on the team and the coach keeps them around because of commitment. It will take a year or two for this to level out. The mid level d1's are going to get really strong over the next two years! LSU's #2 players are going to be at Tulane,ULL, ULM or other state schools.

Example-Micah Gibbs! If he showed up this year he would not make the team?
