Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3427556, member: 2504"] Erik Stock being eligible is news that we did not have before, so that has some significance. I recall that from a fall interview that Penders liked what he saw of him on the mound during fall ball, so if he becomes a main bullpen cog that would up the significance level. Also good to know that Justin Willis is having a fast recovery and is due back around the end of March. While Uconn is still waiting to find out if Ben Casparius will be cleared to play this season, Penders was busy trumpeting his ability. Penders said he thought Casparius could become a Friday starting pitcher. Even if Casparius is not eligible to play this season, that is still something significant to watch for next season if need be. One other interesting note. Penders said that Kyler Fedko has shown significant improvement as a defensive outfielder since being moved there, to the point where Kyler is now one of UConn's best defensive outfielders. I suspect that if the decision on Ben Casparius being eligible is not made until just before the opening weekend, that will delay the posting of the roster on the UConn athletics website until that decision is made. Also hoping that Chris Jones and the coaches still come out with their preseason interviews. I just love listening to those things. [/QUOTE]
