Van Horn on potential starting pitchers: "Right now Killian, Taccolini, Jackson, Teague and McKinney are the ones that jump right out at me.

Van Horn on catching situation: "It's a pretty good battle.  Pennell is a pretty polished defensive catcher.  He will throw you out if you give him a chance. Alex Gosser is battling too.  Right now Pennell is a little bit ahead of him on the defensive side. 

Van Horn on who he expects in the infield: "The infield is interesting, especially the middle.  Clark Eagan is the most improved hitter that we've had and we've got him at first base.  At second base, there's three or four kids that could go there.  If Bernal isn't playing short, he can play second.  Defensively, he's our best second baseman.  Brett McAfee or Bernal will be at shortstop.  Another player that's improved and I think you'll see this right out of the gate is Bobby Wernes.  Athletically, he's probably one of the hardest working kids I've been around. He can play third, short or second.  He's our best fielder."

DVH: Bernal at 2B and Nomura backing up.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Some guys that are hitting the ball well: Spanberger, Wilkerson, Hogan and Bonfield.

Carson Shaddy, Eagan and Wernes may be the most improved players.

[Sssss!]

Where does Wiggins fit in?

Where does Wiggins fit in?

Haven't heard his name mentioned much. From what I'm hearing lately (and it's early), he's probably somewhere behind Max Hogan, who is pushing Bernal, McAfee, Wernes and Nomura. As a talented freshman, when his defense becomes solid, he will get his chance.

[Sssss!]

What is DVH saying about he's top recruiting class? (You must play defense at this level )
No mentioned of Rodriguez ?

[Kevin]

Rodriguez is suspended for the year. He is not going to talk about him.

Yes, one of the themes of his pc was you have to play defense to get in the line up
