Colleges? Dude.....The Pros needs lefties too. $$$$ :grinpimp:
 
no pro ball at this time...he needs that college education...he is only one injury away from being just a student....last year when he got a letter from the white sox we talked about it...he does not want to miss that college experience!
 
Thats very true, if they come calling in two yrs saying he'll be a first round pick with a couple million dollar signing bonus you both might rethink it though, besides with a couple million you can go back to sschool. Clemson and USC lose at least a couple guys every recruiting class who say they are coming to school before their senior yr then have a big senior season and hear they will go in the first couple rounds of the draft and they change their mind. I think Clemson lost 5 guys that way this yr. Lefties are always worth more too.
 
Well Clemson season ended somewhat pathetically this weekend after two loses at the hands of ASU. Those two kids can pitch and their whole lineup can hit better watch out Marshall I think the UNC boys are about to run into a buzzsaw.

I would hope we could do better than y'all did against them. Hoping TCU wins tonight. That would make things a little easier. Had Clemson actually come out and played we would be seeing the two teams play each other. That would have been sweet.
 
I'm really not sure we could have beaten ASU 2 out of 3 and I'll be impressed if UNC can. Those first 2 starting pitchers are amazing. We got 4 runs off of Leake which I think they said was the most he gave up in a game all year. Their whole lineup is over .300 on the yr and they are so aggressive on the bases its hard for pitchers to stay focused, and it really helps them generate runs. I think they could win it all, Fullerton was the only other team I watched that looked as good.
 
I agree good to see SC so well represented. Would be great to see the Tigers win it though. Sorry David I have a thing for orange these days.
