Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4530080, member: 2504"] This analysis pretty much confirms what we have already heard about the UConn pitching staff for the coming season. It would appear that Ian Cooke, Andrew Sears, and Stephen Quigley are the leaders to be in the weekend starting rotation. Also says that Jack Sullivan and Brady Afthim (both sophomores) are both possibilities as being ready to step into the mix as starters as well. As for the bullpen, expect it to be anchored by returning pitchers Justin Willis, Devin Kirby, and Garrett Coe. Transfers Will Nowak and Michael Quigley get nice mentions as well. I would note that Michael Quigley did have problems with his control when he was at UMass Lowell, but we'll see what happens this season. The article also gives mentions to freshmen Thomas Ellisen and Jude Abbadessa as being expected to get some time out of the bullpen. No mention of Braden Quinn, but I would expect to see him to get some time on the mound as well, judging from what has come out earlier this preseason. [/QUOTE]
