According to the "Don", he is a new member of the LSU baseball team. His stats seem nice, but it is Eunice.

Anyone have any other info on this kid? I'm sure some of you probably know the guy?

Adam, any idea of what this kid could do for the program?

Thanks for the correction on his name Neville.

Great pickup, IMO. Even if it was Eunice, he put up some God-like stats with the bat.

Not sure about his defense, though. What position does he play? Is he an instant starter in next years line up?

Maybe he'll get an opportunity at DH

Only 9 SO in 238 plate appearances? I like it.

good deal because spots will be tough to come by this season

only real battles will be at C, 1B, 3B, DH, and LF

people seem to think Edward is a lock for 1B and Jacoby Jones is a lock for 3B (possibly Hanover to 3B and Jones to 2B)

Rhymes could battle Katz and Dishon for LF or make a run at DH

Kind of surprised Mainieri is adding folks this early. He must know some bad news we don't...

yup, he's gone.

Also, Dandy said this morning he thinks Ralph will take over for Hanover at second moving Tyler back to third. Who knows.

Good problem to have I guess

Folks from Eunice say he is superior offensively to Trey Watkins who was excellant before his injury. Word is Ole Miss thought they had him for a while.

Seems like he puts the ball in play a ton which is a great trait to have.
