  3. He's a good pickup, assume he and Kyle Jones have 2 of the 3 outfield spots? With that speed I'd love our ability to chase fly balls in Omaha, of course we have to get there first.

    Yep, and Yost would be the 3rd OF.
    Need Tinney and a Sunday starter and that’d be an excellent portal class.
    2 position starters

    Weekend starter

    Good solid back up catcher that will probably DH some.

    2 solid bullpen guys

    Very nice pickup. I live about two miles from JU and have baseball season tickets. As impressive as JB's speed is, he's not just fast. His base running skills are top notch. Another part of the game that has been lacking the last few years in GVL.

    While reflective of where college sports are in regard to player transfers. Still interesting in his case, since he was a crowd favorite at JU.

    Also, good for his family who made the trek to a lot of his games in Jax. GVL is a much shorter drive from Winter Garden.

    Apparently has a younger brother that is elite as well.
    Question in my mind is Cyr. If he stays does he rotate with Yost, do they try him at third?

    If his showing at second base is any indication they need to keep him as far away from a batted ball as possible. ;)
