Very cool. Any expectations how the team is supposed to be this season?

With Ward & Marzi as junior starting pitchers, along with experience @ 2nd, short, and CF, we should be OK. Some promising frosh coming in. Biggest worries are inexperience @ catcher & first.

Mazzilli is obviously a leading candidate for position player of the year in the conference. Ferriter returning at the top of the lineup is also a big help. I think Marzi will be the best pitcher in the conference. Having a dominant Ace changes the whole feel of a pitching staff.

A lot depends on development of the non-star players. If we get bumps in production from guys like Yavarone and Testani (I'm fairly high on both in terms of how they will do in the future), it could be a good year.

My gut says they'll be Top 3 in the conference based solely on recent talent levels. I honestly have no idea what other teams are returning - it's hard to keep up with that stuff without actively following each team after the draft.

Wrong. The coaches are batting .500. I'm batting 1.000.

Prosinski didn't allow a HR in ~95 innings and had a 3.52 ERA. 1) 0 homeruns allowed is impressive. 2) That ERA is pretty high for allowing 0 HR.

Wish they were playing SHU at home this year so I could see him pitch.
