#5 seems a little to high to me with all the question marks on this team. (Catcher, OF, Sunday Starter, Bullpen). Feels like we're more of a top 10-15 team atm. It will all play out as we get closer & start the season.

There are a lot of questions, but not anymore than most collegiate teams have with turnover. Our recruiting has been amazing the past 5 years, so we have a ton of talent and depth. We return six position starters, 11 pitchers and 25 letterwinners from last year's Regional team. This past year our recruiting class ranked the No. 5 by Baseball America.
As far as Catcher, we have 4 good options, and I think Hunter Taylor is the future, b/c his bat is so good.
In the OF, I don't know if we'll have a speedster covering fly's like English, but Destino is coming Scolamiero has solid defense skills.
I think this team has the right mix of experienced players and top level young collegiate talent.
You're right about the Sunday Pitcher, it's wide open, and we will need someone to step up and claim it if we are going to have a shot this season. I don't think Crowe and Wynkoop are going to win every Fri/Sat game for us. Good news is, we have a fistful of former HS All Americans who can make a run at that Sunday spot.
