Grad Transfer

Looks like JP France, RHP from Tulane is going to come to Starkville for a year.

Solid player, LSU killer and a guy that will be

In first three or will pitch a bunch of middle relief.

And the green wave pipeline continues to MSU. This is a huge pickup for us

France is solid. We went up against him twice last year.

Don't think he's a weekend starter in the SEC, but definitely a good option in middle relief.

I think he's at least a midweek starter, if not a viable long relief guy. Could be our Sunday guy on opening weekend in Hattiesburg.

Will the Tulane coach be a whiny ***** about it like another coach has been?

An LSU coach should never out-whine a Tulane coach.

Depends on why he left. He started 15 games for them last year and had a 3.84 ERA. Odd that he'd be transferring at this stage.

Apparently he doesn't need Tommy John surgery and that's a big, big plus.

Does that make us Tulane State Up North? **

 

[The Peeper]

Saw an article that said he was a Saturday starter there this past season

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

I'm pretty excited about France. It's nice to add an experienced pitcher who has thrown ~ 150 innings the last two years with approximately a 3.50 ERA at the D1 level. He's proven again solid competition and would have been easily our second best starter this year. You can pencil him in as a Sunday or midweek starter and take some pressure off our recovering arms.

 

[ShrubDog]

They call him Frenchy

This is OUR Tulane.

It's the Jewish baseball networking, people.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Just looking at

his stats, I feel comfortable saying he's our 2nd best SP on day 1 of him arriving.
