What say ye?  @TheTeetFingler?

Folks are still shaky on Graveman after Purdue jumped on him, but he's been solid his whole career for us.  He's just kind of hit or miss like Routt was post-surgery.

I like what I've seen/read/heard on Lindgren so far.  Does Woodruff gain some consistency?  Where does Will Cox factor in?  Evan Mitchell?

We honestly have many options to go as we inch closer to league play.  In a perfect world, I'd say:

Fri. - Graveman - He just seems like he's much more effective when he's the 1st pitcher of ours a team sees.  Something about that sinker.
Sat. - Lindgren
Sun. - Mitchell/Woodruff - just unsure here.

Midweek Guys
Mitchell/Woodruff
Cox?

Girodo is obviously our first choice out of the pen right now.  He's easily my most improved so far.

What about Pollo has a midweek starter. He got the start last night, and didn't do too badly. I agree Graveman is a Friday guy.

@TheTeetFingler am I missing something or whatever happened to Bracewell? Injured?

Bracewell was hurt during the 2010 season and had surgery after the seasons end. He spent the whole year of 2011 recovering and saw some time last year... He will be monitored closely and given short stints on the mound.

Nothing has been set yet that I know of. We will get a better feel for our weekend rotation after this weekend.

If I had to guess I would say:
Friday- Woodruff/Graveman
Saturday- Lindgren/Mitchell
Sunday- Woodruff/Graveman

Our rotation is easily interchangeable. We have a great number of guys that would be great starters, but dont have the endurance of ^these^.

The only change during the year I foresee will be during the OM series. Pollo will get the start against the Rebs on Saturday/Sunday.

Cox will be a wildcard... The kid has some sick stuff.

As for our bullpen... You never know what kind of shizz Butch will pull... He surprises me every week.

Girodo is a bad ass... His new delivery is so deceiving and hes gotten really confident with his different pitches.

Fitts does not have the junk... He looked pretty bad. Granted it was 17-3 when he came in... May have been a bit too comfortable.

Bracewell pitched a bit. Didnt look horrible. Def not what he could have been.

We aren't going to hang 15 on the SEC but I hope we score 5-7 a game instead of 1 per game like last season.
