Everyone needs to remember that with the way baseball is these days and our lack of hope scholarships, we need to have players transfer out every year. That will open up slots for more signees each year, basically resulting in an effective tryout each year. Where we need to worry about transfers is when our best players start transferring. And I am assuming that we aren't having to worry about some type of APR with baseball though. </p>
Cohen and transfers

I played one season of juco ball for an insufferable bastard and if that is what cohen is, I am worried.

Free up a spot for someone who does want to be there. Cohen is Cohen and if you don't like him move on. I don't want a coach who buddies with his players. I want a hard nose coach who is going to demand the absolute best out of you every game and if you don't give it he benches your ***. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>He does not have to be Mr. Personally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He just has to coach. I think Cohen can coach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He won at KY and he can win here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I also want to add if a guy has a bad attitude in the dug out, run his *** off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>When I was little you had to try out for the baseball team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you did not get picked, you sat your *** at home that summer.

I seem to remember Devin Jones and Nick Routt wanting to transfer rumors. Those turned out to not be true.
With the rules in place- it's usually better to stay at the school you are at. Whether the rules are right or wrong, that's how it works.
Like Trey Johnson for example- if he tranferred, he is going to have to go somewhere like Delta State. The fact of the matter is this- all of these players, except for some of the walk-ons are pro prospects. Most of them want to at least get into pro ball. Your chances are a lot better of playing professionally if you play at MSU vs Delta State because of the level of competition, and more importantly you can make more money. It's because of the conference we are in- the SEC is somewhere between high A ball and AA most years because we have a few players that move pretty quickly every year to MLB- like Pedro Alvarez, Luke Hochever, David Price, and etc. not to mention all of the other players that usually have solid pro careers.
Believe me, players think about that and weigh that before they make the move, because once you leave, you can't come back unless you go JUCO, and even then it is very unusual to come back.
