    I haven't looked this year but last season she was playing on the Batbuster's third level 18U team. Meaning she was consistently playing against lesser 18U teams. Quite a few errors in the 19 games I had stats. Don't remember the exact number. Was hitting somewhere in the high .200. Offering this one has always been a surprise to me. Hope I'm wrong.

    I knew you’d say that because i recall you saying this exact thing many moons ago. So she’s batbusters which is still something even if the lower level but…still lower level. I certainly respect your insight and if you have questions so do I. That said I’m gonna root hard for her because I love me a hard knocks story lol. Both of us want you to be wrong and we’ll both be overjoyed if you are!

    You guys have me pulling for her now. I would think CTW must have seen something he likes about her game.

    I totally agree. I don't think CTW would have signed a girl last fall particularly one from California to come to Gainesville and sit on the bench for four years. This girl was not a last minute add on. I guess we are going to find out who is a better evaluator of talent whether it is CTW or rick. Based on rick's ranting and raving about Taylor, I've got to go with rick.

    I don't know. Haven't seen enough actual video. The stats were not good. I can't escape the feeling this one was a favor to someone. I could be completely and totally wrong and that would be better than being right.

    I took a look at the roster sizes under CTW. I believe the smallest was 16 with 2 pitchers and a couple numbering 17 with three pitchers. Looks like we need to find a couple or more OF/Util types since we have so many newcomers. 11 position players (not counting Ava) is scary.
