People forget so quick

I would love to pick up Curland, numbers dropped off after injury but get him back and healthy and he's a 280-300 average/15 HR guy in the middle infield.

Looks to be a Griffin Herring type long inning reliever. 54 innings in 16 outings but only 4 starts. Seemed to have averaged a little over 3 innings an outing. With Evans, Schmidt, & Moore all back. I wouldn't be surprised if Hood becomes your "Casan go put up 5 or 6 innings and Hood go put up 3 or 4 to finish it so we can have a fresh bullpen for the remainder of the weekend." guy.

Regardless, love the pick up. DUDE THROWS STRIKES

For sure, Christian still has a ton of potential. His college career might not have lived up to the lofty expectations that were shown early, but he can absolutely carve out a path in the pros. Ready to see him get bumped up to the next step.

2025 MLB Draft:

Kade Anderson - 1st Round - Mariners - AA - 1.43 ERA through 9 starts, will move up the org quickly at this rate.

Chase Shores - 2nd Round - Angels - A+ - Posting similar numbers to last year at LSU, electric stuff but just needs tuned up a bit.

Anthony Eyanson - 3rd Round - Red Sox - AA - Already promoted from A+ to AA, has a combined 1.35 ERA over 8 starts in the minors. Looking like a steal in the 3rd.

Ethan Frey - 3rd Round - Astros - A+ - Promoted to A+ after hitting over .300 last year at A. Looking very good, contact numbers are still there and power numbers are staying steady in the transition to the minors as well.

Daniel Dickinson - 6th Round - Brewers - A+ - Getting off to a slow start at A+ but is coming off of an injury that he played through last year & I believe he had surgery to take care of in the offseason. Power numbers haven't developed but he's a gamer.

Jared Jones - 8th Round - Pirates - A+ - Mashing the ball right now in A+ ball, hitting .322 with 7 bear bombs. Happy for him and hope he keeps it up.

Jacob Mayers - 9th Round - Red Sox - A - Throwing up a 2.16 ERA at the moment through 8 appearances but needs to work on the walks still. 31K/21BB through 25 Innings thus far. He can be a legit arm if the command comes, and it looks to be trending.

Kade Woods - 10th Round - Braves - A - After putting up 6 good outings at the end of last season, he has given up 8 runs in 5.2 innings to start this year and helped inflate his numbers. Hoping he can come back around.

Conner Ware - 15th Round - Mets - A - Similar to Shores, current stat line almost mirrors last year's production at LSU perfectly. Does seem to be getting put out there as a starter quite a bit, curious to see how he develops.

Luis Hernandez - UDFA - Twins - AAA - Has been at the A+ level for the 2026 season and just saw yesterday he was getting promoted to AAA, I'm under the impression that this is a move because they need catching at the AAA level for injuries or something because he is only batting .100 this season. Hope he can show them something they like.

Michael Braswell - UDFA - Royals - RK - Getting back into the flow of things as a pitcher for the Royals, gave up 8 runs in 5.2 innings but 7K/3BB is promising. Rooting for Brazzy!

2024 MLB Draft:

Tommy White - 2nd Round - Athletics - AAA - Hitting .293 with 4 HR's & 38 RBI's through 48 games at AA & AAA. Hopefully gets the call to the bigs this year.

Luke Holman - 2nd Round - Reds - A - Been battling injuries ever since he left. Looked good in two outings at A ball last year and is now back on the 60 Day IL. Hopefully can get healthy because he is a crafty pitcher when he's full speed.

Gage Jump - 2nd Round - Athletics - MLB - Just put up 7.0 inning of 3 hit 1 run ball in his 2nd big league start. Great to see him take this opportunity and run with it.

Thatcher Hurd - 3rd Round - Yankees - A - Finally back on the mound after rehabbing a TJ surgery. Glad to see him back in action, pitched great in RK ball this year and is 2 starts in in A. Hopefully he can get healthy and get some confidence back on the mound.

Griffin Herring - 6th Round - Rockies (Traded from Yankees) - AA - Looking really good to start his pro career. Dominated A & A+ ball last year and was included as a prospect in the Ryan McMahon trade last year. Up at AA now for the rockies. Hopefully keeps progressing like he has been!

Fidel Ulloa - 7th Round - Rockies - AA - Now teammates with Griffin Herring, also dominated RK, A, & A+ ball and now showing to be one of the best arms for the Rockies at the AA level. Lost the mustache but clearly pitching like a legit prospect.

Nate Ackenhausen - 10th Round - Royals - AA - On the 60 Day IL right now and hopefully coming back soon and keeping up what he was doing last year. In 2025, got promoted from A+ to AA, continued to pitch well and ended the season with 5 appearances in AAA. Very Quick career jump for a guy like Ackenhausen but up a 3.00 ERA in AAA last year. Hopefully gets health and keeps progressing.

Christian Little - 11th Round - Mariners - A+ - Pitching lights out right now to start the 26 season, holding a 0.86 ERA over 15 outings and 21.0 innings. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in AA soon at this rate.

Justin Loer - 13th Round - Rockies - A+ - Putting up similar numbers to his season at LSU through 2 years in the minors. Currently posting a 4.97 ERA at A+.

Javen Coleman - UDFA - Blue Jays - AA - Currently on 7 Day IL, pitched really well at the A & A+ level last season, looks to have only had a few outings before injury this year. Hopefully back soon and keeps slinging it.

If this interested anyone, I can go back further as well. It's fun to me to watch these guys carve out their paths in the minors. Geaux Tigers!

I don't disagree, he was very much a "lefty on lefty" guy but it felt off to me that he only got his number called four times a year after he got it called 22 times. It would have been one thing if the bullpen was just lights out this year and there was nowhere to put him, but quite the opposite. Just an observation.

I am honestly a fan of giving an 18 to someone on both sides of the ball like they did with Greg Penn & Josh Williams. This year I'd go Treydez for 7, Whit Weeks 18 on D, & Bo Bordelon wearing an 18 patch like Lloyd Cushenberry did on the o-line. Give a little credit to Bo for sticking it out through 4 years of special teams & tight end reps and now possibly getting a starting nod as a redshirt senior.

My thought exactly, White ended up being a well above average college third baseman in 24.

Don't really understand that unless he was just wanting a guaranteed starting spot that can't be offered. I'm sure the staff has let it be known they are hitting the portal and the best man will win. Plus, if I'm being completely honest, I think he is a better fit at guard but understand that tackle is wear dudes make their money.

For sure, just hate that they wasted an all time year from him.
