This is one of my favorite issues that we put together every year. Lots of interviews go in to making this a comprehensive look at the team. There is an SEC preview with capsules on all 14 teams this year. I’ve got a look at how the clubhouse ping-pong table brought the team together during the offseason and Clay Henry has a feature on Bubba Carpenter.
I think the team will be good. I’m not sure how good it will be out of the gate against the competition in Arlington. It was a pleasant surprise two years ago in a similar scenario when the Razorbacks were breaking in a lot of new position players with several returning pitchers. Most lineups don’t gel as quickly as that one did.
That’s true… this team has the potential to be good for sure but the road schedule in the SEC is beyond brutal. It will be like that every other year. Hopefully the defense will be adequate and the pitching lives up to as good as DVH thinks they are.
