I look up the Perfect Game rankings and some draft rankings when these guys are prospects. I know Tennessee is bringing them in, Arkansas too. UF. But beyond that, we’re right there or better than others. And UF likes to suck til playoff time.
At some point production matters. We have a lot of maturity too. Bell for Kentucky looked great but otherwise not much. Irish for Auburn is something but pretty underwhelming otherwise.
When watching, I don’t feel we’re outmatched or overwhelmingly fortunate. Arkansas was primed and ready otherwise it’s good pitchers picking us off. That’s been limited too.
Hell, I’d say Gasparino, Flores, Farmer have more to give us. I don’t see any reason Rodriguez, Galvan, Schuessler, Mendoza can’t keep on keeping on.
DV is the one I see most difficult to sustain. Even a slight drop off and he’s damn good.
