Anyone have any educated guesses on the pitching rotation this year? (I'm tired of talking about basketball, tryin to keep this thread rolling :partyman:

)

by **BYXeagle** on Tue Jan 12, 2010 2:06 pm

Not a clue 83, but I'll be willing to bet we see a lot more of Vollmuth this year

Oh yeah Volmuth will be starting no doubt. I want to see if some of these pitchers are going to be any good.

We walked in the winning run against the #1 team in the country last year. It won't take much difference in pitching to be considered an improvement.

I'd say that's pretty close...Cork said that Copeland was without a doubt the "key" to the rotation cuz iffen he can't fill up Saturday then we'll have to go too deep in the bullpen before pitcher du jour on Sunday...And yes, Vollmuth will not only start...he'll hit at least 20 bombs...you heard it first :-D

He's the power hitter we've been missing for a while

Vollmuth will be the key to the offense this year.

He and Brunty could make a pretty good combo.

Mingo' really struggling with fastball. Topping at 83. Getting bombed.

So redshirt him Tee...that was easy :-D

by **kickingtee** on Tue Jan 12, 2010 4:10 pm

Nah, you don't redshirt JUCOs.

by **southernmiss4ever** on Tue Jan 12, 2010 4:17 pm

Mingo is a junk ball pitcher.

His fastball is good for location.

Never has been one to light up the radar gun.

He only had 1 year at JUCO so he's easily redshirted...Tee...you're already worrying...how many times do I have to tell you...Baseball is fun...so have fun and don't worry about it in January

100% correct statement 8-)

by **kickingtee** on Tue Jan 12, 2010 5:46 pm

Whose worrying? Made 2 statements that I stand by. Redshirting a juco is defeating the very purpose for signing one, and that is immediate help. My second statement is that Mingo can't break a window with his fastball, and believe me, I am expert at breaking windows! I never said that he couldn't be effective. He just don't have a dayem good fastball!! Geesh! :butthead:

PS. I agree his fastball is for location, on the rails to trails!

Someone forgot to tell Tom Glavine having an average fastball with great location isn't good :-D

by **kickingtee** on Tue Jan 12, 2010 6:08 pm

Tom Glavine, he ain't!

Of course, making the CWS in the first place is not firm evidence of decent pitching.

It doesn't defeat the purpose if said pitcher isn't a "need". If Mingo was a power pitcher with a live fastball and a good slider/change and he was redshirted, then yes, the purpose was defeated. But, that's why we got Ryan McNamara.

Mingo is one of about 4-5 "junk ball" pitchers that USM has. He could use a year of development. Doesn't mean he WILL be redshirted.

His pickoff move is ridiculous.

It's evidence that you've got two decent pitchers out of 3. Doesn't mean you have a solid midweek man or something like that.

I think redshirting a juco player in any sport is a bad mistake, and usually they would not sign with you if they new that was the case.
