Last year we saw Dickerson step right into the #4 hole, Dunning field SS, Monar in a weekend starter spot and Gonzalez play 3B during the last 75% of games. Plus dont forget that Webber may have been the 2B if he didnt get hurt. This years class is not nearly as ready NOW to play. But given the number of recruits in the class that seem to have high upside they could still be very good with a year or two under there belt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363837069141383760.post-47868100823204677112009-09-22T14:06:43.297-04:002009-09-22T14:06:43.297-04:00Baseball America said IU had best recruiting class...Baseball America said IU had best recruiting class in Big Ten last year. Where do you think this year's class will be ranked in the Big Ten? <br /><br />And I also think there is a scrimmage on homecoming weekend.#1Fannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363837069141383760.post-44535456651400417612009-09-22T13:25:30.829-04:002009-09-22T13:25:30.829-04:00Homecoming weekend?Homecoming weekend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363837069141383760.post-71711588786612566622009-09-21T14:07:19.969-04:002009-09-21T14:07:19.969-04:00The solid returning players are going to make it t...The solid returning players are going to make it tough for any of the freshman to step into a starting role. <br /><br />And I dont think Early not being listed as a catcher means anything. I'm sure they will try him out and see what happens. We will probably get a better idea at the Cream and Crimson scrimmages.

I like his stuff too, but I like his attitude on the mound even better. Other guesses are freshman Hoffman and McKinley, sophomores Hoff and Leininger, and my darkhorse Stadler. I'm really hoping Carr ends up recovering quickly and takes the spot late in the season though however unlikely that might be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363837069141383760.post-78924169593924628192009-09-19T10:29:16.159-04:002009-09-19T10:29:16.159-04:00Maybe infielder includes catcher?
