Preciate the story

Yes Bax is gone . Why bust you ass and pitch a winning game and get robbed ? At least in MLB you can get paid for getting robbed...

Stanek missed the cutoff to be eligible for the draft by just a few days. Very few days. Barring a transfer or something, they should have them all back except those three. Trey Killian who they signed from Mountain Home is really good too.

Should be. I mean, it's hard to replace someone like Baxendale, but there is a good chance that Astin ends up in a starting role next year, so to answer your question, yes. I believe that our pitching will be very solid and very good next year and that as long a Dave Van Horn is here, then we should have a pretty solid staff.

I think Blake Baxendale will help with the power. Would be really nice if they could get an OF who is a power hitter. They thought they had that in Sam Bates, but he couldn't hit SEC pitching. He had power earlier in season and in JC games, but SEC pitching got him. Hope they add Baxendale, a power hitting OF and some how get McClure on campus. They have some good young pitchers and Reyes is better than Fant for sure. They need to move Astin to starter and Suggs to closer. Still have Brandon Moore and plenty of others for long relief.

Yeah Suggs is a very good pitcher. I agree with you guys. I think Astin or Moore one goes to the rotation and I think it will be Astin. Those young guys they signed last year will get a chance too. I have heard Reyes is a stud. I wouldn't count out Trey Killian helping either.
