Yeah, not many of those line drive hitters going anywhere post season.  Wonder how they determine that percentage.  Does it mean that when do get a hit, 25% percent of the time its a line drive??

Some things are possible with Cal

Quote from: HogBroker on Today at 11:11:03 amChances are you are correct. But we only slug .404 as a team. We have zero candidates for a prototypical 1B. However, it is debatable where he should be in the lineup With such a low slug%.

It's unfortunate Wagner didn't work out at all. Ben is a solid defender and one of the 9 best offensive players so he has to play. But you're right, he needs to probably hit leadoff

Quote from: bennyl08 on Today at 11:07:26 amYou keep using that word, yet you keep demonstrating that you do not know it's meaning.

Tell me, where is it a 'fact' that he didn't even move to campus until the day before the BYU add/drop date? Where is it a 'fact' that he missed the entire first week of mandatory workouts?

247 says that is the date that he officially enrolled, but that a) the only fact there is that it is what 247 reported. B) What do you think enrollment means? That's just when the paperwork gets finalized. Being a transfer student, it's not uncommon for your paperwork to take longer to go through.

What do you think is more likely? That he was on campus, working out, taking classes, and just waiting for the paperwork to go through or... that he waited until the 2nd to last day to even arrive to campus, sign up for classes, miss the first week of workouts, and all that? Better yet, don't answer that, because sometimes it's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Only fool here is you Chad you aren't a member of the university until you are officially enrolled I know you aren't aware of such things because like you have said yourself your a a high-school coach.

Transfers don't enroll or show up until the 2nd semester begins which in BYU's case would have been the week of the 15th...you know because of Christmas break and all that.

You definitely perform some amazing mental gymnastics to provide evidence that you haven't a clue...kudos

Quote from: Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson on Today at 08:56:19 amI dunno if that's a good move for him or not, but Stillwater.  Yuck

I always thought Stillwater was the only decent looking place in Oklahoma.

Quote from: hogfan10 on Today at 11:15:40 amHe's a better hitter than both of those options, and most certainly better at 1b.

Neither has been given anywhere near the attempts Be  has. I'd be curious to see where those two hitters are today given the attempts like Stovall got his freshman season.  I think they'd be coming around and we'd see huge growth out of them, but just opinion

Isn't that anyone(adult male) who signed up to post on a sports message board talking about and arguing about young people whom you've never met and probably will never meet? There is kind of a nerd component to this.

Quote from: raz1965 on Today at 09:22:17 amI believe it will take a few more years before the model is set, few changes every year until both the players an powers that be can find a balance that can be sustained.A run away train is my definition  of now.

Can't put the toothpaste back in tube. It was fun while lasted.

Quote from: onebadrubi on Today at 11:13:29 amRandom thought, but wonder if Helfrick was ever practiced at first once getting to Arkansas.  Or Souza

He's a better hitter than both of those options, and most certainly better at 1b.
