Mainieri said he will probably make the decision at the end of fall practice...After looking at the roster... LINK
I'm going with:
Shane Ardoin
Stuart Peterson
Kevin Farnsworth
Nick Pontiff( He and PM will agree to this)
and.....Chad Jones

I highly doubt Chad Jones will get cut...

His potential will keep him on the team, play and simple.

no i figured he would keep all the freshman and try to keep all the seniors as well. So that doesn't leave a whole lot of guys to choose from.

Well if he does it will be another thing like with Pontiff...they will say it was a mutual thing.
And the only other person I can think of to replace Pontiff on the list is Chris McGhee, but he's a senior and I dont see PM doing that...Pontiff is only a semester away from graduating I think so it will be a mutual thing.

I thought it was cuts due to scholarship restrictions? Chad Jones is on a football scholarship, so he would'nt count right?

I hate that Pontiff will be one, but it looks inevitable.

I think Shane may surprise you. He was playing hurt last year and he's been to a friend of mine who's a very good pitching coach. They've tweaked his arm slot and I hear he's much improved...guess time will tell and if it's enough but don't count him out just yet.

Pontiff won't be on the team. I'm betting on it.

Im not trying to take shots on the guys I named... but its gotta be 5 guys...I think all of them have potential to contribute this year, but we have to cut 5 somewhere.

Also, found this from Rivals concerning Chad Jones to those who think I'm crazy for adding him to the list:

The NCAA has imposed a roster limit of 35 which goes into effect next season. The final roster must be turned in before the first game. Mainieri figures his roster now stands at 39. He is not counting Clark and Verdugo, but he is including Coleman.

Mainieri is also not including two players who will apparently not be returning to the baseball program – Rene Escobar and Chad Jones. Mainieri said that Escobar told him that he is probably leaving. Mainieri said that he has not spoken to Jones in two months.
