I have read where some rebel fans are really high on next year's team due to their recent success in Omaha. National title contenders. Anything short of a return trip to Omaha would be a great disapointment.
Could any rebel fan enlighten me to what the rebels return for next year and what they lose or will probally lose (due to draft) off this team? Names please not just stats.
How does the rebels signing class rank?
TIA

We're losing our team captains, Godwin, and our ace. We won't be as good.

Christian Trent will be our ace. LSU will be fricked for the friday night game. beyond that nobody knows. too many question marks.

We lost our two best pitchers and best three hitters last year an improved dramatically.

We return our most productive starter and our Sunday starter along with 7 of our top 11 bats (Robinson, Orvis, Bortles, Woodman, Bell, Perdzock, Jamison). Question marks will be a reliable closer if Laxer leaves, Saturday starter, and a couple bats must improve to meet this past years offensive totals. We had 4 hitters who hit over .330 throughout the season and only return one of them. Need Jamison, Robinson, and Bell to get close to that, which of course is asking a lot.

Has Trent said he is coming back? He was drafted. Right?
What game did he pitch VS LSU last season?
What position player starters return?
Didn't the rebel bullpen take a pretty big hit?

he did tweet that he's coming back. And he pitched on Saturday which was the game we won against LSU.

Trent has verfied he is coming back and he pitched the game we beat dat arse.
We return 1B, RF, & SS from the field, but we rotated out Woodman and Jamison in RF depending on pitching matchups, so you can look at it like we are returing two outfielders because both have plus gloves. We lost our 2B, but in complete objectiveness, this is addition by subtraction. Bianco was asked every week if he considered taking Overby out because his bat blew and was a liability at 2B. In fact in every close game, Bianco took him out. We lost our catcher, but return the kid who was brick wall during the CWS when Allen got hurt. He was the better defensive catcher all year, but Allen's bat was too strong to start Knight.
The Bullpen more than likely took a hit but we arent sure yet. The only for sure arm that is gone is Greenwood who was our most reliable closer. Not a dominate kid, but threw strikes and was good enough to close out games and could go 3-4 innings deep. Laxer is a junior and he has the best stuff out of the bullpen, but has not said if he is gone or not. Got drafted fairly late. Weathersby was our best reliever and is RSJr, but some say he is leaving for med school, while others say hes going to med school after this year. If we lose all three then yes, our bullpen takes a hit losing 3 of our 4 best bullpen arms. Its not like we do not have experienced replacements ready to roll though. This time last year, all three of those pitchers were not regarded as good relievers.

CF. Woodman .325
1B. Orvis .278
DH. Bortles .273
3B. Bell .304
RF. Jamison .222
C. Knight .303
2nd. Blackman- top middle infielder in the country.

Relievers
Weathersby 2.13
Short 2.59

signed two jucos with ERAs around 2.2 so I guess they would also be in the bullpen

Did you read the rest of his post?

Nah, lets play. I wanna trip to the box
Posted on 6/22/14 at 9:12 pm to 167back
The only thing OM will have over LSU next year is stadiums
Posted on 6/22/14 at 9:16 pm to 167back
We will be alright. Not great but a team that you'll have to play well to beat.

There is no way to even know that. On paper our pitching is head and shoulders better than it was this time last year. On paper the bats we return are head and shoulders better than last years. Now Im not expecting 4 players to make the jump that Anderson, Orvis, Bousfield, and Allen made, but you guys better get ready for a top 10 preseason ranking because I promise you its coming. Not that that matters, but if the rest of the world thinks we will be a contender, this whole "we will be ok" shite is a little too pessimistic. I guess that is better than the annoying over optimism.

The goal next year will be what it is every year... Try to be in the hosting conversation in late April.
