All you baseball folks, I’m not a huge fan and don’t really know what to look for with guys. Saying that, how do ya’ll think we look so far? Can we compete and be a middle of the pack SEC team? Can we cause some problems this season and win some series that we aren’t supposed to win?

I know that it’s early, but what do y’all think of the roster and potential after the first series

Hard to tell from the opening series, but it reinforced the general belief that this team is the most talented we've had in 5-6 years and should be more competitive in the SEC.

My personal expectations are 12-14 conference wins, get back to Hoover and sneak into the NCAAT.

I saw him last year hit 89 several times. Seems like he is an upper 80s side arm guy. That is very solid for a side arm thrower. As a one inning novelty, Lee should be very effective.

It is my opinion that side arm throwers lose a good bit of their effectiveness second time through the line up. Thus, as a closer, he could certainly be a good one. He seems to be consistent. Keeps the fastball down and couples it with the sweeping slider.

Omaha.

MSU club team uses my field for their games and Lee played on Bama’s club team one year IIRC. He no hit Msu the day I saw him

There are some pretty good players in that league

Was waiting on that, ready to post a HE WAS ROBBED thread if he didn't

I’ve heard that some of the team are about like a very good high school team.

Ole Miss, FSU, LSU, UTC, Ga Tech, Kennesaw St, Bama , MSU all play in that league . most played juco at least . I was impressed
