I think Laird will bulk up in the offseason and will be one of the most improved Tigers next year.

And when he does, he will also project as the 3rd strong safety on the VERY Early 2013 Football Depth Chart

I have no more to add to this thread.

How was he ever recruited for football at his size? He would have died.

i dont know much about next year's class other than deans bro and a few other guys

P- Nola,Glenn,Brousard(maybe reynolds)
C-Chinea or Barash
1b-Chinea or Barash
2b-Bregman or Ibarra
SS-Bregman or Ibarra
3b-Moore
Lf-Sciambra
Cf-Stevenson
Rf-Laird
DH-McMullen or Foster

SU=McCune
CL=Rumbelow
MW=Newman/Sewald/Reynolds/Brousard

just my guess

I'm listing Longhi as the DH for now, but he'll project as a 1B or RF if he makes it to campus.

Listing Ibarra at 3rd, although he could go next month.

I see Laird/Stevenson fighting for the CF spot unless they both come in with a hot bat next year.

Fraley's game is similar to Stevenson, he's extremely fast...while DeHart is a powerful left handed bat who will project at a corner outfield spot.

Roberston and Zardon won't all SEC performers their freshmen years but are very talented and will be solid middle of the infield guys. If Ibarra goes Zardon moves to 3B.

There will be attrition as always

C-Chris Chinea
1B-Tyler Moore
2B-Kramer Robertson/Danny Zardon
SS-Alex Bregman
3B-Christian Ibarra
LF-Sean McMullen
CF-Mark Laird/Andrew Stevenson
RF-Jarret DeHart
DH-Nick Longhi/Jake Fraley (both are if's as of now)

Fri-Aaron Nola
Sat-Cody Glenn
Sun-Dylan Williams

I think Broussard will be a vital bullpen guy personally.

Top pitcher coming in will be Dylan Williams from Georgia, a powerful right hander. Whitty and Bugg have huge frames and will fill out as time goes on.

David Palladino would make an immediate impact.

I can't argue with any of this.

Am i the only one who favors Barash over Chinea?

I look at them like the Gibbs/Ochinko year. They'll both get work back there. I personally don't think I've seen enough of either to say which one should get the nod over the other.
