Re: Next year's new players
Irish, this is awesome. I can't wait to dive in. Thank you!
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: Next year's new players
Cal Stevenson and Nate Sweeney both got drafted in the later rounds, so it's possible they don't show up to campus. Cal probably fills in at one of the OF spots if he comes to AZ. Out of all these guys I think Stevenson, Morimoto, Voss, and Martinez contribute the most. I'm sure a couple of the JUCO pitchers will as well.Irish27 wrote:Here is a list of the new guys for next year. I have not included the players who will probably sign a pro contract.

Do you think Cannon signs a contract and skips school?
Re: Next year's new players
Not sure whether Cameron comes here or not, but hopeful. The Diamondbacks have signed all but 12 of their picks. I'd think JJ would be able to sell Arizona pretty hard right now. Step in at SS after Boyd? And FWIW, he's been tweeting about Arizona baseball pretty heavily the whole time since he got drafted. Baseball recruiting is worse than football/basketball, but that has to be a good sign right?
Re: Next year's new players
Hopefully this year is not as good as it gets. Lopez was/is a hall of fame coach and a lot of these guys were his.
Lots of juco guys in this class which is a necessity given our roster and being year one recruiting wise. Looking forward to the future

Re: Next year's new players
Just a quick prediction on next year's lineup:
C: Salazar/Voss, I think whoever isn't catching is likely the DH
1B: Matejevic or Rivas
2B: Matejevic, Cannon if he doesn't go pro, maybe Lewis
3B: Kyle Lewis
SS: Louis Boyd
LF: Cal Stevenson/Rivas
CF: Jared Oliva
RF: Mitchell Morimoto/Rivas
JC Cloney and Cameron Ming are your Friday/Saturday starters. Tons of options for Sunday starter. I think Cody Deason makes the jump to closer.

Huge news. Quintana should be our starting 2B next year. We owe it to the Red Sox's #1 pick getting a huge contract and Dalbec signing yesterday.

Thanks ANG, I was trying to embed, but it wouldn't work for some reason.ANGCatFan wrote:Here is the embedded twitter from above.
Outside of Jojo Romero and Nate Sweeney all our recruits are expected to show up. We should have a pretty deep team next year.
Re: Next year's new players
Seems to be a lot more names on Irish original post than what Lev is reporting? Did all those other guys sign or were they just not drafted but still coming to school?

Re: Next year's new players
All six of those guys were drafted but didn't sign. I think we only lost two to the draft (ASU lost six).azcat49 wrote:Seems to be a lot more names on Irish original post than what Level is reporting? Did all those other guys sign or were they just not drafted but still coming to school?
I read somewhere that only three of the top 367 or so draft picks didn't sign and Quintana was one of them.
We are the people our parents warned us about.

Re: Next year's new players
Most of the people Irish included on that list weren't drafted. Sweeney was the only guy he listed who was drafted who did sign. Everybody else will be showing up to campus plus a few guys who were drafted that he didn't list, because he expected them to sign (Nicholas Quintana and Cameron Cannon).azcat49 wrote:Seems to be a lot more names on Irish original post than what Level is reporting?
