Middle of the plate should not be a spot.
Bingo. It's not that we don't have the arms, we just don't use them. We were supposed to have the best staff in the SEC (if not the nation) coming into the year....not just the best starting rotation (that was UF). Don't think we've seen half the arms we were supposed to have.
Exactly. He also used to have no problem letting starters throw 130 pitches if the game was going well until Crowe got hurt and had tommy johns. Hes cut back a little on pitch counts but you're right though. He only uses a handful of guys so next year we have a bunch of inexperienced guys to rely on with exception of Hill.
Because after the starting weekend rotation and Johnson, we are average at best out of the bullpen especially. Reagan and Bowers are local kids who were lightly recruited If at all. Meyers has developed them to their potential. I do agree that he leans on a select few year after year. With Johnson out and then limited we are going to struggle to close games. Maybe it's time for a change because we do need to develop more arms.
