re: SEC Pitching: Who's getting it done?

You guys have tons of quality arms but to act like losing the SEC POY doesn't matter is definitely a stretch

Not a stretch at all. Stratton was super important last year because he was outstanding of course, but what is overlooked is that he helped us be able to ease all these Freshmen into bigger situations as the season went along. He ate up innings and we didnt have to throw those newbies to the wolves early.

Now all those guys are Sophs and they are ready to handle the load. Lindgren and Woodruff have the potential to be even better than Stratton was. Holder is the best closer in the nation. Will Cox is really coming on and throwing well as a starter- plus Sr Gravemen returned. Jr. Evan Mitchell has Friday night starter stuff, but he hasnt gotten it all together yet.

We have 5 guys that are weekend starter level pitchers- and only need 3. That's why losing Stratton is not going to affect this club.
