they are both redshirting. No clue about the others, although I'd once aGAIN assume they all are. With Byrd, we don't need a 3rd catcher. Freeman & Thigpen are handling the duties well enough. Our pitching has been ok, so there's really no need to for Dixon, Pace, or Miller, either. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, seems like Dixon is injured as well. As for Hannah, see my comments about Byrd. I don't know what INF position he plays, but unless it's 2B, he's no help to us either. Bussey just sucks. I doubt he's redshirting. He's just not playing and will graduate to clear room.

So he is a medical red shirt along with Parks

 

[jcdawgman18]

Not sure if he could help us at all at the plate, but he always was very good in the field.

Yes, all of those players are RS for various reasons.

Bussey hurt his arm. That's why he is out, I would not be surprised if he is cut next year.

Parks broke a bone in his neck and had surgery pre-season. He will be back next year, and may be our third baseman. He was supposed to start this year.

Rawdow hurt himself lifting weights. It was either a pectoral injury or a shoulder injury, I can't remember.

Dixon, who was supposed to be our closer, had Tommy John surgery.

Kolby Byrd is RS because he has to learn how to hit. He is a pretty good defender, and has a good arm, but he really struggled in the fall last year.

Pace has had arm trouble from the McNickle days. I think he is a leftover victim.

Hannah is a walk-on who is RS.

Jared Miller is a pitcher who is RS. He is basically trying to refine his control more than anything.

 

[Reallybaddawg]

too. Just had surgery again.

 

[Todd4State]

too. Just had surgery again.

if he is going to quit at some point. He was injured his entire senior year of high school to.
