2026 baseball roster thread

Who is probably the smarter moneyball move vs Tinney

 

Have to watch Watson too I think

 

Duh - You are absolutely right. Since the season is in 2026, I mistakenly looked at the 2026 list, thinking those were the guys coming in this summer/fall to play next season. Sorry people. Here's the correct list for the guys for this summer's group. And from this list, RHP Aaron Watson is listed as the #42 prospect, Jordan Yost #59 & Nic Partridge #190. Thanks for the correction @stingbb!

He is our catcher.

 

Short of a miracle, Tinney not coming.

Tinney, like Amick, and Fischer told staff they were coming and then schools like UT and Texas entered with more money.


Sully not given a ton of support/resources. I’m surprised honestly he’s not considered leaving. I’ll say it again, Bowen is a ball player. Sully is an elite evaluator. When you think of what he’s done in the portal with Waldrep, Shelton, Boser, Donay, what and others he is elite. Sully forced to look at mid majors for the most part for his transfers due to lack of financial support within the program, and he has really done well.

Have to consider that when he is looking at mid major guys often times they are still in need of development like Brody, Shelton, and Bobby and Sully and staff made them better.

 

Would love to get him. Gives us our starter after Bowen gets drafted next year.

He’d split time w Bowen with it being 65-35 in favor of Bowen but gives us a solid, DH and probably another option at first base for 5 to 10 games.
I’d see Sosa like this starting games:

Catcher 20-25 games
DH 15-20
1B 5-10

 

Question anyone have a read on how much of the 20 mil baseball is going to get to pay players? I’ve heard football getting close to 14 mil, leaving 6 for all other sports. But I’m not sure if that was real numbers or just bullsh*t.

 

You know that UK will load the 20 million toward basketball.

UF is in a tough place. Even with all of our success in Men's basketball and baseball we really are a football school. Texas will have the same problem. Same with LSU and UTn.

 

Wait did we flip Rivers Kurland from FSU? When did that happen? (Not that I'm surprised )

 

For sure. I forgot about Watson but don’t think he makes it to Gainesville either. Actually, Yost may have a better chance being that he might want to play with his older brother for a season but again, doubt we have either one next year.
