just wanting some advice on handling a group who seems soft in my opinion. We had a really good team last season with great senior leaders. We had a guy who even starts at Texas part time as fish. Now i'm left with some guys who have some ability, but just followed the example by a good class. So far and I realize its early they aren't playing at a very high level and seem to be hurt or nagged by "injuries" at every turn. My CF has always either some type of nagging leg injury or sore arm. My new SS who was great for us last year at 3b has the same type deal and isn't playing at close to the same level after a good offseason and something is wrong constantly with my two top pitchers. Our lefty has division 1 stuff, but finds something wrong every other day..Its my groin is tite or I need to come out..yesterday his elbow was tight and he had a tired arm..needed to come out. Without this guy we have little chance this season of doing much of anything. He was never asked to go more than a couple innings last year and i'm begining to wonder if he is capable of anything but relief!!! To top things off we have our 3 pitcher out with torn meniscus from football offseason powercleaning and best hitter with torn labrum which he hurt in football. In trouble.
