USF had the number 9 ranked recruiting class in the country this past year. Projected 4th or 5th in what should be a good AAC this year. League projected to get 3-4 teams in post season (Houston, Tulane, ECU, and either USF or UConn). Got a couple of very talented outfielders. Nice test to start season vs a team that has certainly been outdoors a lot more than us. And on grass. Took us a couple of weekends, each of the last 2 years, to make the adjustment to grass. Then it was a non-issue the rest of year..Ready to get this going. Be interesting to see if we go with a "Power Righty" rotation to start season, or run 2 left-handers out there on Saturday and Sunday.

Toman said he was going with experienced starters to start with, but I think he likes a couple of the young arms a lot. Interesting choice of Stafford over Bean. I wonder of that means he is looking at Parker as a closer

Or midweek starter!?

I really think Bean would be a better fit as midweek starter than closer. He had a really bad time last year finding the strike zone and he doesn't have an "out pitch" or weird delivery that effective closers have.

I heard tonight that one of our pitchers suffered a broken leg today. I don't know any facts thus I refrain from saying who.

But I hope I was given false information.

We better have yacyk hits 20 this year. Not sure anyone else will more than 3 or 4.

Purchased the feed. No HD. Poor camera work. Cameras slow to pickup the ball.

Lots of USF's hits seem to have eyes, going through the infield on the ground.
