Anybody here know who changed his slot and why? I read somewhere else that a draft analyst said someone messed with his mechanics for the worse. Question is, why and can he change them back?It was obvious and the slot changed all the time and every game. He was not close to last year pitching. Velocity yes but he did not have an out pitch like last year. He had a few good starts at the end but to be honest kind of disappointed in his performance overall. Do not about the outside the lines stuff but his motion changed and for the worse.

I am sure they can and I would like to know where/who initiated after dominating last year. Granted pitchers do have off yrs. but he was not anything like last year. Walks, behind in the count alot and then groove a flat 96 mph fastball. He had mo out pitch this year. Slider no bite, curve not enough and no strikes with it and the change up was okay at times but not consistent enough to use when behind the count. Plus a lot more home runs and walks. Two things that are disasters to pitch well. Plus it was all year from first game to the last. Sometimes worse than others but it was there.Anybody here know who changed his slot and why?

Heflin said Anderson gives the pitchers freedom to tinker with things, but generally he does not try to change things if a kid is having success, so I am guessing it was not him, but I could be wrong.I am sure they can and I would like to know where/who initiated after dominating last year.

Speaking as a C-suite executive now vs. an ex-college and pro baseball player.....
If I'm UT coaching staff I let C. Burns and his camp know that he has until "X" date to let me know if he is staying a Vol or not. And for me, that day would be 5pm tomorrow. Why? Operational control. We run this outfit. Nobody else. Make sure that camp knows who ACTUALLY runs things around here. Just good old tough love. JMO

Leave @Volstylexx's sister out of this.Does it matter if it's illegal,immoral or unethical?
Honestly, I suspect UT and Tony V gave it their best effort to keep him and when it didn't come to fruition, they moved on. I don't see them continuing to pursue him. If it happens, he'll have to make the effort. I'm ready to bring on Holman.Speaking as a C-suite executive now vs. an ex-college and pro baseball player.....
