Message: [QUOTE="MarkyMark, post: 4750211, member: 12210"] Agree on Daniles, and disagree on Coe. Coe was one outing and don't want to get results-oriented on a short, immaterial stint. Let's see what happens against LIU. For me, with Coe he needs to get ahead of hitters and throw strikes. Sounds obvious but for him, it's extra important due to his velocity. When he's ahead in the count he's extremely effective. Go back to the Florida game b4 he got hurt. Only gave up 2 hits but walked 5. Teams generally don't hit him hard. I know you need to be careful with that lineup but that stat line is when he's really not effective. I don't think he's a Friday night starter (should be SQuigs) but he's a nice change of pace guy on the weekends. He's low on my list of concerns. If he throws strikes early in counts he'll be ok. Daniels Defensively plays a great 2B (1 error last year). Offensively, I want to see him be more aggressive at the plate and really attack the baseball, especially being in the 2 hole in this lineup. Seems to be on his heels at the plate. Is he thinking too much? Is confidence an issue? Who knows I'm not around the program enough. He needs to start driving the baseball with a focus on pulling it. I think he's too content with going the opposite way. The other night he went to RF but really didn't drive anything (Sac fly was okay). Coming out of high school the jump in pitching is massive as he came from a Class S school in CT. He was facing low-mid 70s it's like batting practice. But he did face better competition over the summers prior to coming to UConn and now he's had >1 year to adjust. The potential is definitely there. To me a personal aspiration for him this year should be some form of All-Big East. But the approach at the plate needs to be tweaked. Let's see what happens. [/QUOTE]
