he seems to have the tools to become very good out of the pen. he's just a freshman but i find he's very inconsistent and needs to learn. last night he struck out the side one inning and then gave up too many hits in the next. i feel dunn will straighten him out....

it should be easy for the college financial dept. to come up with a calculation ...

Mullen's a damn good coach; he's who i wanted LSU to hire when we canned Miles. of course, i'm glad we hired Orgeron but Mullen would have been damn good too.
