is that if you look at Conner Power's numbers and then everyone else on our squad, at least as of yesterday during the game - there wasn't a player above 20 RBI's.

If he keeps it up that is...

I'm sure he will be first team all conference but I don't see him getting player of the year. Cox or Kuhn from Arkansas would get my vote.

Russ Sneed is batting .478 in SEC games, which is the highest average of anybody in the conference with over 30 SEC at bats. Hasn't Sneed been catching a ton of **** on here? Unless he is just horrible in the field, he has to be the dogs best player behind Powers right?

I don't know if thats always been the case, or if its because he hasn't fully recovered from surgeries. Duffy is close to him as far as being able to contribute at the plate. Early in the season he really struggled, which is probably when you saw him catching the ****. Other players have the potential to be better than Sneed at some point in the future, but I would say he is the second best guy in our lineup right now. </p>
