Message: [QUOTE="MarkyMark, post: 4873197, member: 12210"] Agree they have a lot of live arms no question and the potential is there hence my excitement. The key will be developing it into a staff that can consistently get guys out at the D1 level (repeat comment by me). By "develop: I mean: 1) Predictable starting rotation that's not constantly in flux (+results and no injuries) 2) Group of middle/late-inning guys who eat up innings (should be doable given quality arms so low risk) 3) Closer who can close games at this level of play. This is not easy. Agree Abbadessa hurts big time and I don't know much about Galusha but like you said heard good things. I'm very interested early on if we see guys like Tommy Turner (a very interesting prospect) and/or Sean Finn get shots in that middle/late-inning role. I did not see either throw in the fall. I was looking up scouting reports on the freshmen pitchers and 2 common themes were mentioned: 1) "Very good student" and 2) "Teachable". That's a good foundation for growth and success. [/QUOTE]
