Incoming Arm

Does anyone else just feel the irony or disgust every time a transfer posts a picture with “COMMITED” in large letters? There’s no commitment anymore. They should just be honest and put “HIGHEST BIDDER”,” “BOUGHT,” or “RENTED.” Sadly...

I ran across this post today. Does anyone know where UA stands on increasing scholarships and doing revenue sharing to attract players? Finding info on the baseball program is like getting blood from a turnip.

2nd highest. Joe Vitiello was 7th overall back in 91.

Transfer bullpen arm “Following his sophomore season, Bradley-Cooney transferred to Campbell. In one season with the Camels, Bradley-Cooney recorded a 2-0 record in 25 appearances and held a 6.00 earned run average. In addition, he recorded six saves.”

Alabama Native/USC Upstate Pitcher Trent Hodgdon “As a sophomore, Hodgdon saw an increased role in the Spartans bullpen. In 24 games, he struck out 51 batters while allowing 29 hits in 31.2 innings pitched. He boasted a 7.39 earned run average and held a 2-3 record.”

LSU Catcher Brady Neal He hit .271 with 9 HR last season.

Dartmouth Catcher Nathan Cmelya This is the only place I’ve seen his name come up. He hit for a high average and got on base a lot. Hopefully it translates to SEC play.

Even if Alabama passes lottery bills like those proposed in the past, it won’t help this situation. The recent bills didn’t put lottery money towards scholarships. Many didn’t even go towards education. The ones that did took money away from education instead of the lottery...

We’re like a glorified JUCO program right now. Our best move on to the big time while we take lesser D1 guys looking for more playing time or better looks for the draft to replace them.

Think of it like your monthly budget. You have $X that you make each month. So much is allotted to each bill. If your power bill is lower than it has been being, you can spend that money on something else. Same deal here. Draft someone you know you can sign for less than the slot budgets and you...
