Things I want to see

(a) Consistent efforts - well, I guess you could argue we were consistent last year too (gulp), but you know what I mean. I want to see a team that does what they do. I think we all know they aren't built with talent to win this league, but make other teams grind to beat them. Be prepared, be confident, make routine plays.

(b) An offensive approach. Lawd my soul for a team full of guys who have professional at-bats

(c) Peskiness. Get the frick after people. Be a fun team to watch that irritates the shite out of other teams.

Expectation : 29-27 (13-17)

Not many freshmen listed on that roster . We lose many to the draft?

THIS!!!!
I can't tell you the number of times I've cursed watching so many weak arse defensive ABs. Go up there with a freaking plan!!!
I coached HS for years and we used an approach called "hitting by the numbers". It taught the hitter what pitch to expect in what count. For example, never swing at a first pitch breaking ball. 0-0 count and 2-0 count look and expect "dead red" fastball. The pitcher is looking to get ahead or climb back into the count. Using this method, our team numbers average, etc. jumped by 100 points, extra base hits rose as well.
I'm looking forward to watching this team and see what Bohannon brings to the table.
