Evan Russell back for one more year?

[ClasslessVol]

 

[vol66]

Boom!

 

[Volprofch05]

That means the Daddy hat will also be back and should be heavily used

 

[vol66]

 

[OldTimer]

His leadership will be his most valuable asset to the team next year!!

 

[tnvols72]

So no hope for others returning?

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Big news. Where is booker gonna play, anyone know?

Typically he played CF for Gilbert, but we’re gonna need a DH too.

DH!!

 

[vol66]

DH!!

Really, any of those guys could DH.

We already penciled in Beck as DH

 

[TN_gal]

B️M!!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Based on Beck's defense, I'd say he might be the prime candidate for DH. Booker's speed would probably be a huge asset in the OF.

How easy is it to find tickets to the CWS on the street?

Asking for a friend.

 

[CAVPUT]

Now that makes for a great start to the morning!

I doubt Luke L comes back, I’d give Evan a shot at 1st and keep Booker in the outfield. Any way, it’s a great problem to have when you can’t figure out where to play your guys. I’d imagine Beck might be a dandy 1st baseman as well……

 

[NighthawkVol]

So now we’re just waiting on decisions from Lipcious and Kessler, then we’ll know who we have.

Why do you doubt it? He loses nothing by coming back. He could improve his hitting against lefties and maybe be a late round pick next season.

He’s a 5th year guy that would be going on his 6th, with a medical redshirt and Covid year. Just a hunch but I‘m only going on my gut feel.

True. I’m guessing MLB isn’t in his future regardless. Maybe he’d like one more year of playing ball before going on with life, though.

And grad school paid for

All true and it wouldn’t shock me if he came back.
He earned his bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering in May of 2021. I’m guessing he’d be in his 1st year of grad school next year and to finish he’d have to come back to school for another year. Maybe from a career standpoint its worth it but I imagine the degree he received pays very well as it is.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

This is awesome

 

[LA vol7]

That is really big! When you put guys like that in your line up, it makes a difference, a big difference, plus we get to watch him one more year!!! Life's good!
