    Texas did add another outfielder in former Long Beach State OF Trevor Goldenetz. He will be a sophomore next season. He missed a month this past season after a hand injury I believe it was a HBP to the hand. He could be a leadoff hitter or either a 8/9 hitter on the lineup. Not certain if...

    Haha. I'm actually usually up Tuesday thru Thursday at 4 AM. One of the companies I co-own has health screenings on the East Coast which means some events are starting at 5AM there and is 4 AM here.

    From what Coach Schloss has put out and some of the assistants of Tulo and Weiner. 1. One more outfielder that could also play in the infield like Larson. 2. 2 veteran pitchers most likely for the bullpen. But 1 could start. 3. A juco catcher that could also be an infielder. There could be...

    3 Texas players are headed to the portal: 1. Monsour: a really good young player, but his lack of communication in the outfield showed up especially late in the year. He might have been upset that he got replaced by Pendergrass, but he shouldn't have. 2. Jason Flores: he has the pitches and...
