I don’t think it will sink him. He has the tools to project into a good defensive player and a bat that can carry him regardless. It would certainly help his stock to show some better defensive execution but he’s looking like a high draft pick either way

Seems to me that a goodly number of Minick's fielding problems have happened when he is playing 1B. It seems to me he is new at playing at that position, at least with UConn.

Minick looks to be on pace to become one of our highest drafted players ever next year if he continues this trajectory

Agree. Especially for a non-pitcher. I envision him in the outfield as a pro. He runs well and has a good arm. The power is legit. Other than Huber at USC a few years back I've never seen a ball hit as hard in person as Tyler hits them.

BIG EAST Player of the Week
Ryan Daniels, UConn, Jr., INF (Meriden, Conn.)
Daniels was lights out during a 5-0 week for the Huskies, as UConn extended its win streak to 13 games. The junior collected 11 RBI and scored 10 runs with a trio of doubles and four home runs. Batting 10-for-21, Daniels also earned five walks and stole four bases. In 18 fielding chances defensively, he had six putouts and 11 assists to field .944.

BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll
Charlie West, UConn, So., LHP
West won his fourth straight game on the mound, pitching 6.0 innings in a 14-3 win over St. John’s. The sophomore stuck out six batters and finished with a 1.50 ERA with two hits allowed.

Connecticut: You were playing with fire if you wrote off the Huskies from postseason contention earlier this season when they were struggling. In not-so-shocking news, Jim Penders has UConn playing exceptionally well heading down the stretch. UConn did a clean sweep of St. John’s in Big East action over the weekend and climbed nine spots in the RPI as a result to 39. With 15 wins vs. Q1/Q1, a solid RPI for a northern school and a strong 11-4 Big East record, I’d have UConn comfortably in today.
 


-> “We took our lumps early, but that really tough schedule prepared us for April,” Penders said. “It was really grueling, a very hard slog through the first 25-30 games. We had eight straight weekends on the road which was something we had never done. It was hard on the bodies and minds, but one thing I had never really anticipated was how much when we are away we don’t get the same reps.

“The guys don’t have access to the indoor cages, our field and the weight room. Getting back home for the bulk of the week anyway, even when we make Big East trips it is a little bit easier with bus trips, not flights. We had six (flights) we had to make with scheduled trips and then the Big East didn’t do us any favors by putting us on two flights the first two conference weekends to make the road trip eight weeks.” <-

If we sweep Butler, as we should, Creighton has to go 6-0 to beat us and 5-1 to tie us. They would get the top seed if we tie, but we would still be co-champions. So sweep Butler and see where we are. God knows our bullpen can benefit from having four days off before we see Butler. And then a bullpen game against N’eastern should mean Cooke, Finn, Shaw and Afthim and not the collection of random arms off the street who have been getting weekday starts.

Afthim had to work this weekend but the rest were minimal to none. Good time of year to get a little rest. Collectively they will be needed repeatedly.

Peters is coming on as a possibility to get innings.

As is Alejandro. But I would trust neither of them against Northeastern yet, and would be focused on using the bullpen this weekend, if at all possible, to be ready to only use those arms against the other Huskies.

I am thinking BET and hopefully NCAA when you need more than 7 pitchers to win a tournament and or regional.

-> BIG EAST Player of the Week
Sam Biller, UConn, Gr., OF (Los Angeles, Calif.) - Biller was the centerpiece of a UConn offense that broke out with 82 runs scored in a 4-1 week, batting 12-for-19 (.632) with four walks. The outfielder registered at least two hits in all five outings, in addition to adding at least one run and one RBI in every contest. Overall, he capped the week with 10 runs scored, 17 RBI and five home runs, in addition to hitting a quartet of doubles. Biller’s best performance of the week included a 4-for-5 outing in the series opener against Villanova, smacking out of the park and collecting six RBI. Defensively, the graduate senior was a perfect 13-for-13 in put outs. Biller is riding an 11-game hit streak, amassing 29 RBI, 19 runs and eight home runs over the stretch.<-

UConn is now in finals week, so UConn baseball does not have any games for 4 days after their last one on Sunday. When games resume, UConn baseball has 7 games scheduled over a 9 day period. That is going from one extreme to the other.
 
I have mentioned before I started following UConn baseball on a more consistent basis starting with the 2010 season, although I will mention that I had listened to some games that were on WHUS radio over the previous several years as well.

Anyway, since I started really following UConn baseball, they have made the NCAA Tournament 10 times since and including the 2010 season, plus now having being in the NCAA Tournament 6 seasons in a row. With the way this season has been going recently with UConn winning so many games of late, it is looking like UConn baseball has a good chance of extending this streak this season as well.
 
One thing to think about as the pitchers enjoy four days of rest. This is the week to get your rotation in place for the post-season as this week’s series doesn’t start until Friday, while Maine starts on a Thursday. Should we be moving Shaw into the position as the game 2 starter, swapping slots with Ellison?
