    Love the Majory Stoneman Douglas pipeline.

    A really nice set of talent that should have a realistic shot to make campus (1-2 notwithstanding).

    I don’t know any of these kids but guys that are 6’5” 210 lb 1B/OF should have some serious power at the college level. That is a big dude at 17/18 years old.

    I keep looking for any write up or info from the O&B weekend but nothing. I had a long day Friday and needed my rest on Saturday. I guess with the lack of parking on Saturday no one wanted to fight the crowds. Oh well hopefully we will get a write up on Monday once the thrill of UF/SC passes.

    I'm using the lineup for Game 1 against Stetson and making a few changes to include Halter when he gets back but here is where we are at for a starting line up until spring for now.

    #11 Robertson CF bats left
    #36 Langford LF bats right
    #14 Caglianone 1B bats left
    #24 Rivera SS bats right
    #15 Riopelle C bats left
    #1 or #4 Kurland 2B bats right
    #5 Halter 3B bats left
    #6 Shelnut DH bats right
    #2 Evans RF bats right

    I would expect Halter to move up but just where is tough to imagine. If Robertson struggles and Halter gets hot then he probably will move back in the leadoff spot.
    I'd be happy with Robertson only batting 270 in the lead off because of his ability to bunt and his speed on the base paths. Imagine a few extra runs scoring if he gets some lead off walks.
    Like many of you I don't expect Rivera to stay in the 4th spot. The last two seasons he's ended up a 250 hitter and that will have to improve to remain.
    Shelnut has the potential to move up to the 4th spot as a contact hitter. He puts the ball in play and looks like a 280 to 300 hitter if all goes well.
    Kurland is swinging it well as a freshman but remains to be seen if he could move up or he could get dropped to the bottom of the order. He seems to have a knack for finding open areas to drop the ball in so lets see him do that consistently. I've seen him hit two HRs this fall so he has plenty of potential.

    Feb 17th can't come soon enough.

    I gotta think Deric Fabian will be given every chance possible to break into the starting lineup. We need an Ocala guy in there, right?

    Its gonna be tough for Deric with the talent lined up this year. If you go watch Dale Thomas in practice he is one of the best infielders we have but even he can't seem to find his way into the lineup. Sully has plenty of options to choose from.

    Me too. Looked for some write up or a box score ...something. I found -0- even on Gator Ath website. Zero.

    Maybe it did not happen since no one saw it.

    BTW- Bigfoot saw me, but no one believes him.

    Pictures can be deceiving. I'm starting to wonder if these really came from Saturday or just some stock images from another scrimmage.

    I feel good about the batting potential. Lots of promising candidates.

    I have long wished for a quality group of hitters to match Sully's pitching compliment.

    I, too, have been hoping to see a write-up on the O/B Game. I stopped by the Park Saturday morning and walked around inside a bit. It was my first opportunity to go inside. It is beautiful. I got to see some of the players warming up. It was very exciting and I am hoping to get to a game some time soon.

    Some of you fans of other Gator sports might be needing a little pick me up after this weekend. Here's something to be thankful about...
