Yeah I wouldn't be so sure of that yet. What is it you think makes him a better prospect than what we have on our roster? Just that he wasn't on our roster. We have a SS on our roster with as good or better attributes so we will see how it shakes out.
Yea starting to feel like we should pump the brakes on Hogue.CLTWolf said:Is Hogue gonna be ready for the start of the season or the season at all? I mean his injury was fkn nasty as hell.pack2010 said:CLTWolf said:He's gonna play short.pack2010 said:pack2010 said:
If the season started tomorrow, what would you guys want the lineup to be?
SS- Nixon
DH- hogue
LF- Thompson
C- Sosa
3rd- Jaros
CF- head
1st- Ozze
2nd- lyons
RF- fraasman
Weekend rotation- Consiglio/dudan/fritton
This changed overnight, literally.
Not sure whose spot DeCriscio takes, but the competition just got better across the board
Right, for sure. What I meant was, lets assume Nixon plays 2nd. Where does Lyons play? Is he out? Does he play 1st? Does he move to a corner OF spot and Fraasman is the odd man out? Lots of versatility with these guys.
I just don't see Jaros or Lyons coming here to play first with their profiles, but who knows.

"Lets bring in a career SS and not play him there" - Elliott Avent
He is 100% going to play SS. I would say the 91 games of D1 baseball he's played at SS would tell you that hahaStateFan2001 said:

I'm struggling to find who on the roster you are talking about.
Nixon? 0 games at SS
Heavner? 0 games at SS
Thompson? 3 games at SS
Lyons? 0 games at SS
The only true freshmen that could have been considered good enough was Fitz-Gerald and he signed in the draft and isn't coming
Those guys could possibly play SS but I wouldn't label any of them as a SS that has as good or better attributes than Decrisio. The staff must not either or else we wouldn't have brought him in.
Yeah Obee isn't going to UGA
We will see. I will resurface this next Feb and we'll see where things stand.
Oh
This is
You said last year that Luke N. would be the starting SS over Butterworth. Now you are intimating that Luke N. will be the starting SS next year, even over the San Diego transfer. Just from what we know now, the SD transfer will be our starter.StateFan2001 said:

You must have some connection to Luke or his family or something to keep making these statements. With the Torero on board, Luke will most likely still play 2nd (full or platoon), as well as be the backup SS, and there is nothing wrong with that.
I am on board with Luke and Heavner platooning at 2nd base next year. Makes way too much sense but Elliot doesn't roll like that.Ripper said:You said last year that Luke N. would be the starting SS over Butterworth.

No connection. Just aren't handing the position to a San Diego SS with a decent profile who hit 3hrs when you have a NC prep SS that will likely be a draft guy in 2 years. I trust that it will be a competition for who plays SS and who plays 2B. Best man wins.

Yep. Best man plays.

DeCriscio will be the shortstop barring injury. Who is the prep guy?StateFan2001 said:

Luke Nixon was a NC prep SS. This guy just doesn't have the credentials to demand he plays SS. Wasn't a high level prep prospect and has had modest numbers at UCSD. I suspect they will be the middle and who plays where will be determined in the fall.

Daily reminder that @DecriscioJustin is as good as it gets at shortstop 🌟

He has better credentials than Butterworth who was the guy over Nixon all year.StateFan2001 said:

Doesn't have credentials? you have to be trolling at this point. .300 + hitter the last 2 years and more importantly a .945 and .955 fielding % over that time. he is basically better than butterworth on paper while playing MUCH better comp (FWIW this isn't a slight at butterworth, loved him)

Sadly, he's not.pack2010 said:StateFan2001 said:

Luke wasn't a high level prep prospect but somehow that doesn't matter except when it matters for the other guy.
DeCriscio is a two time HM All WCC selection yet we got a dude here questioning his "credentials". GTFO. haha
There's also this from his SD bio...."Helped his team to a No. 1 national ranking for three years in a row". Dude was a starting SS for a team ranked No. 1 in the country. Credentials? Ok.
Why in the fiddlers **** does it matter what either of them did in "prep" school at this point? They both have played college baseball? I love Nixon…but this guy is playin short.
This. DeCriscio will be the SS come start of next season.James Henderson said:DeCriscio will be the shortstop barring injury. Who is the prep guy?StateFan2001 said:

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
Prior to today I thought there was a decent chance Luke would get a look at SS. Our last two SS have been career second basemen, and I do think Luke could do it. However, this signing changes that, this guy checks the boxes.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

It was Jaxon Lucas that was a high ranked recruit that played ss/rhp. PG ranked him the 33rd ss in the nation and number 1 in NC at ss. What are they going to do with him? Just focus on pitching?

I'm surprised he didn't get any looks at the plate (atleast in real game action). Probably means they think his future as a pitcher. He's got great stuff.
He's just moving all the way across the country to pinch hit and occasionally play 2nd.
This is one of the craziest tales I've seen on here in a while.

Let it play out in the fall-at least we have multiple options

Slow News day lol
Assuming we are done adding bats, here is my fully locked in early starting lineup!!!
2nd- Nixon
DH- Hogue (assuming full health)
LF- D. Thompson
C- Sosa
1st- McHugh
3rd- Jaros
CF- Head
SS- DeCriscio
RF- Fraasman/Lyons
Can't decide between the last guy, Fraasman seems like a kid who just hits. Lyons also provides a lot of upside athletically and would love to see him in the lineup somewhere. But Ossenfort could also steal a (DH?) spot if Hogue is healthy enough for the OF. Lost of moving parts + depth going to provide nice competition in the fall
