Surprised Texas doesn’t have Arkansas on their schedule.  Not sure how the SEC conference scheduling works in college baseball compared to football.  Avoiding LSU until possibly the conference tournament and/or NCAA tournament is nice as well.

Thanks y'all! Position player preseason depth question.

These seem like the locks for expected contributors:

• OF: Robbins, Pack, Larson, and Williams
• MIF: Rodriguez and Mendoza
• Corners: Beccera, Borba, Livingston
• C - Tinney

Who are the next few guys who we could see? I'll start it off with my non-expert expectations, but please chime in! 

• Most likely to DH or pinch hit, not listed above: Ermis?
• Backup C - Ermis
• Fourth OF: already covered above. Strong 4-deep. 
• MIF depth: Beccera (over Duplantier)
• Pinch runner: Pendergrass (over Duplantier)

Good stuff!

We’re all entitled to our own opinions. Not to be disrespectful but I can’t get on board with “Omaha or bust”. That’s saying it will be a failed season if they only make a super regional. I realize there’s deep talent and one of the best coaching staffs in the country but they do play in the SEC and this season’s schedule is brutal and, in my opinion not being talked about enough. 

Thanks for the baseball coverage! 
 

The boys talked around and hinted at, but never directly said, what I’ve been thinking. ARod could be an outright liability at SS. 
 

I don’t have many concerns about this team, love the pitching for sure. But Rodriguez at Short and back of the lineup are two.

And even CDC would agree with that based on what he said at the town hall.  It’s what he wants for all 21 sports on campus.

Absolutely as it should be. Schloss would be the first to agree with that. I just don’t the season would be bust if they don’t make Omaha given the schedule as long as they make a deep postseason run. 

I think I'll sit back and watch LOL.

Can't wait to watch these guys.

Texas won 3/5 of the series against those teams listed. Florida and Arkansas were the two to beat them.

He needs to get healthy.

Interesting — I hadn't made the connection between his hand injury and his defensive development. But duh, haha!

I am still not sold that he can hold down short: not just hands and arm strength (potential hand injury impacts) but athleticism and feel and command. I feel Beccera is better there, but you make accommodations for your stars and give him a chance to grow into an even better draft eval.
