re: Alabama pitching staff yet to give up a run...

We're relying on Gullbeau to be our ace this year. He finished the season with a strong outing in the postseason last year. I'm hoping that momentum carries over.

Kid has always had good stuff just struggled with control. Our bullpen should be damn strong, so I'm optimistic about our pitching staff.

We have to keep improving at the plate. We were too inconsistent last year. Exploding for stretches and disappearing for stretches. We have decent pop in the middle of the lineup with White and Hughston and should be good on the base paths and great defensively. We need to find a lead off hitter. Hopefully Avant can fill that void but he struggled in the opening series. Needs to tone down his approach, kid is a great hitter but I'm not a fan of all the movement in the box and the big leg kick. Bama could be a dangerous team if he finds his stroke, because he can flat out fly.
