With Higgins as our likely closer? 

I don't know.  Maybe.  I just think Volantis has top of the rotation ability, so that is where we will get the most value from him.

Perhaps, but a shutdown starter can win a game while a shutdown closer can win a series.

How'd that work out for us against the roadrunners?

we've had our Friday guy go down 2 years in a row.  we make the CWS if he doesn't get injured.  given a full season, If Volantis is our best pitcher he needs to be the Friday starter. you figure out relief roles later.

I don't think Schloss didn't want to roll Volantis into a starting role after most of the season was gone.  It was obvious he trusted only a very few pitchers on the staff.

Schloss is building depth it appears.

This is basically what LSU worked out over the course of the year.  Evans was initially used sparingly at first and Johnson had some trouble figuring out how best to use him.  He started a couple of Sundays after Shores struggled but when the playoffs came around, he was the guy to shut things down.  He is being talked about as their Friday starter next season.  Texas will look similar in its staff.

I know they're still after Ford from UVA, but Ford is ranked as a third-round pick, at worst.

I wonder if this ends the portal for Texas, or if they'll still try to land another pitcher.

Either way, they've crushed it in the portal.

Moneyball says fielding doesn’t matter. So there’s that… 

So does Texas Softball and they held up hardware
