looking toward next near with the OZ coming on as a starting pitcher, how do you see the rotation next year and what is going to be out top 5 starting pitchers, our top long relief and our closer? Thanks

Our pitching staff will be very deep next year. Sullivan and Trey Pilkington are the only senior pitchers on the roster. So with respect to Trey, Sullivan is really the only loss. Turnbull will be back, as will Kamplain and Keller who both started some Sunday games in the SEC this year. The way he's pitched lately you'd have to think Oczypok will be given a chance. Taylor Guilbeau has all kinds of talent but has yet to put it all together. Hopefully the 5.2 scoreless innings of relief he threw yesterday are a sign of things to come. At the back end, Castillo has been tremendous since taking over the closer role. He's only a freshman and has shown signs of wearing down lately. He took that role over from Hubbard when he was injured, and Hubbard will also be back.
Roberts, Booth, and Miller are all we're losing in the field. Roberts will hurt, but we have Wass coming back to replace Booth (though Booth is a beast defensively) and Miller has been a disappointment.
All in all, we should be very formidable next season in the SEC if the young players continue to improve.
