These two are "on the bubble" as far as whether they'll get drafted high enough, with enough $$$ offered, to forsake college. I really hope we get both of them. They could both be significant contributors next year.

I don't get this one. D Kennedy ended up the starting 2nd baseman his true Freshman year. Maybe the new coaches aren't as enamored of his playing abilities as the old coaches were. Or a portal guy (who is much better than D. Kennedy) is a lock.

Casey Cummings didn't seem to get along with Pierce or something...So for returning production right now, I have:
Outfield/Infield
Will Gasparino
Kimble Schuessler - DH
Max Belyeu
Casey Borba
Rylan Galvan
Pitchers
Ace Whitehead
Gage Boehm
Easton Tumis
Max Grubbs
Hudson Hamilton
Andre Duplantier
this sucks, but we sucked, so maybe it's for the best.
Casey has a good power bat and raw skills. Yeah, he might stand some more work on his outfield defense, but we've fielded a lot worse in the OF before.
I think if Casey gets a good start with the new coaches, he could make some waves. Farmer--he flashed some talent, with experience, he could be good in the OF.

Maybe we cross-train both Galvan and Shoos at 1B...?
Galvan and Shoos showed us what normal/average college level defensive catching looks like. We've been used to guys like Ardoin and G-Wagon who were all conference 1st team (both of them I think). I'd like to get back to that level and not see many runners stealing bases on us (or even trying it).
There's Gumbo at 2B if an incoming transfer or true freshman doesn't beat him out.
Haven’t seen anything. Just throwing that out there. Speculating 101.
Coach probably already met with those on the current roster and they know where they stand.
Kennedy beat out Gumbo and he’s very similar, he needs to work on his glove if he wants an opportunity.
I definitely wanted to see more Cummings last year, sadly he only got a few at bats and didn’t come through with them. In Schloss we trust. If Thomas leaves, that opens up one spot in the outfield and he adds much needed experience.

Looking at his innings for this year, best description, slight inconsistency. He faired decent against stiff competition in my opinion and then seemed to maybe lose focus a couple of innings against lesser competition such as Grambling and similar schools where he allowed a few runs. He seems to either strike them out, or allows a HR or BB.
98-100mph fastball, 5.6 ERA, 17 innings pitched, 21 SO's, 18 hits, 11 runs, 15 BB's.
2 years of eligibility left.

Good. We need him.
Really good numbers. And from a true Freshman.
Were those two held back at some point in their schooling?
Normal progression:
COLLEGE:
Freshman - start at 18, end at 19
Sophomore - start at 19, end at 20
Junior - start at 20, end at 21
Senior - start at 21, end at 22
(Senior for some Hornfans.com posters - end at 24-25).
These 2 did not redshirt and have finished their Sophomore years. They will be starting their Junior years soon. They should be 20 years old, not 21. To be eligible for the MLB draft, they need to be 21 to be in the draft as guys between their Soph and Junior years. What's going on?
Max Grubbs really stepped up and made us a playoff worthy team this year.
In most years we'll have 2 or 3 starting pitchers like Max G was this past year.
