will kick the Reds manager's ***.

If it was Lou Piniella, that could be entertaining.

 

[Wooderson]

hopefully Jet Butler isn't too far behind

Could be. The Reds have drafted Hamilton, Bowen and Shepherd. I think they also drafted Dixon last year.

I know a scout who needs to be fired.

 

[basedog]

don't know what happened to him but I do remember Cohen bragging on him and saying he was our Friday starter. You never know, he may find his mojo and be a decent pitcher next year.

thats why there are 50 rounds..and the 40s are very much throw away.
They might just snag him...and if they do
and he can return to form. Thats a great catch,.

Ricky was the star of the fall, but something mentally or physically destroyed him this spring.
He still has a good bit of potential.

that would've given us a 3rd decent starter. Who knows? That might have given us a 5 or 6 game swing which would've been enough to get us in a regional.

I, too, hope he comes back. </p>

He will (and should) take the money and run.

But if he can't hack it with Cohen and the SEC, hell with midweek games, there's no way he'll handle professional ball. I hope he's earned his degree and makes a million bucks, but it won't be in baseball.

 

[Todd4State]

about him costing us at least a winning season and probably a 3 seed at a Regional, but at the same time, we should never be in the position to have to rely on one player so much in the first place. I think that pressure probably compounded his problems that much more.

I mean, you know **** happens. But you've got to be able to cover for it. I would be willing to bet that there is at least one player on every team in the NCAA that didn't live up to their expectations. Look at Ole Miss. They were counting on Barrett to be a weekend guy for them, and he struggled big time. Difference is, they were able to cover for it by moving Bittle there until he got hurt. And then Morgan and Goforth were able to cover for Bittle in the bullpen. We had to cover with Greg Houston.
