Everyone is different but it’s now a 10-12 month injury. 10 months if no setbacks and coming back as a reliever. Closer to 12 if experience soreness and/or a starter. These are generalities as ~5% never make it back all the way. Some have different injuries compensating for the TJ injury and...

Context is important when it comes to Juco players, where insane offensive numbers are the norms. He hit .291/.395/.585 for his team. 17.0% K%, 11.7% BB%. McLennan Juco, the national champion, hit .317/.416/.545 as a TEAM. The average Juco recruit who goes D1 in my database hit...

There is a reason a bunch of seniors entered the transfer portal at nearly the same time.

Nope. Haven't heard if he will be back, but he's still a possibility. Getting Ziehl is a nice boost.

That is really just not cool from Toral. Kind of tells me he has an axe to grind with the program based on things that happened this year.

He never profiled that way. Expectations were too high on him mainly due to the hyperbolic statements that Gino tends to make.

You can take comments such as “he wants to sign” as a coach saying they’ll be moving on from the roster. I’ve been told there was discontent with the upperclassmen and the coaching staff and most said they wouldn’t return for that reason. Balancing act, as the players didn’t perform either.

Clearly, Gino is looking to reshape the roster after last season. For better or for worse, they’re looking to change things.

Yes, Alex Torres is an excellent addition if his stuff and control come back. (Command/Control are the last things to come back after TJ, generally)

His profile is…not so good. They must see tools they like or a mechanical tweak they can make to unlock performance. He gave up HR’s, was hittable, hit a bunch of batters, threw wild pitches and had terrible control. If he K’d a bunch of hitters I’d see more appeal, but he didn’t do that...

We were getting along so well until your second to last sentence.

Carlos Perez hit .222/.340/.422 this year as a freshman with 17 strikeouts in 45 at-bats. He had three passed balls in 19 games. As a COVID freshman on an elite SEC club, Romero hit .300/.426/.620 with 17 strikeouts in 50 at-bats. He had four passed balls in 21 games. Perez has the better arm...

Contact and approach issues. He will need time and really needs to be developed. He can crush a ball a mile but I think he gets pull-happy trying to launch balls and can pull off breaking stuff. Most likely, he's a year two producer, but he is lauded for his work ethic and makeup, so he could...

17 strikeouts in 50 at-bats is going to be a big concern. He got better as the season went along, so hopefully it was an early-season adjustment. Four passed balls in his limited chances is another concern, but Vanderbilt definitely had some arms that were tough to deal with. Otherwise, he had...

No. I think it gets him on the hot seat. The admin seems pretty high on Gino.

Losing Mederos is a legitimate loss. Gino really needs a big year because this one was a major disappointment.

If he wants to sign for $5K or $10K he could be a money saver in the top-10 rounds. The draft does not draft on talent alone, they draft on tools and what the number to sign is.

Lala is in the transfer portal. I'd be surprised if he's back, but would welcome him back at this point. Gino needs to make some real changes and it doesn't sound like he's changing hitting coach/RC.
