Goff has sold Byrne on the fact we have a severe lack of talent and he has much better talent coming in next year. (Still want to know how he plans to fit all the kids coming in with only 3 scholarship seniors whose haul is less than 1.5 scholarships.)
Funny thing is this talent went 15-15 in the SEC last year and likely 5-25 this year. Yes, we lost Will Haynie, and a couple of pitchers. However, none of those 3 were all American studs. Put Haynie and his horrid .OBP and amazing ability to strike out in the lineup over Webb, DeVinny or Kyle and the offense suffers. Now his defense helps cut down on some of the PB/WP so maybe he is worth a game or two but, not much more. If we had Bramblet on Fri night and Burrows on the back end, maybe we win 2 or 3 more games but, still looking at a 10 win SEC squad at best.
