    Coppola has Friday night stuff, but his youth might keep him from that.

    edit**** I say maybe your right. Let me say I hope your right that Pogue can be that good. I think he stands to gain a ton by coming back. Maybe he goes in rounds 20-25 this year but coming back could make him a ton of money.
    I’d have to see a lot more and maybe your right but no way is he ahead of Neely and Coppola. Heck, Finnvold would be a great Sunday guy imo. Kids coming in, if they make it to campus, like Lefferts will make us much better.

    I’m not the manager but unless something changes majorly no way is Neely not my Friday night guy. Kid came so far and showed up big when we needed it.

    Agreed, but he will be much better with a year of experience.

    If your talking Neely man do I agree. That kid has a huge upside if healthy. Dad always talked about moxy which most call make up. Neely has that and he has one thing you and I both know big game pitchers have to have…No Fear!!
    Neely isn’t scared of anything.

    No, I was commenting on @Biglgator25’s post about Coppola. If we can get Pogue back barring complications I would look to see Friday/Pogue, Saturday/Neely, and Sunday/Coppola.

    I agree, I was pleased with Neely’s progress and he embraced the challenges making his experience gained even more impressive.

    Good one, I've added Shelnut as a backup at second, but with much success he could end up starting.

    Is Kurland in next year or the year after?
    We might have different opinions but I think Pogue has a shot as our Friday starter depending on who comes back.

    That's my guess as well but I'm leaving him in for now until any other info comes out.

    Thanks and removed Moran. I seem to recall seeing that info to Stetson some time ago and forgot. Most of these JuCo guys I will wait and add them in August when we know for sure their intentions.

    My concern as well so I moved him to the back of the pack at catcher for now. Thanks

    Next year. Big time player. Pogue would need to get back to sitting 92-93. Stuff got better but he’s our 3-5 next year.

    I believe we will be going after an experience arm or two for front end and bullpen help
