I don't know much about the other guys, I'm not big into recruiting in any sport, but I had just heard that one of our signees wasn't going to make it, dating back to about March. Didn't even pay attention to the name until later in the year. Heard some details around the draft, like CTR and staff had known since February that the grades weren't going to be there for him, not sure even they knew he wouldn't graduate HS until the very end, but they definitely weren't counting on having him.,

I would be surprised if there are any position players considering leaving. Thurber is the only guy that stayed in Raleigh's dog-house. With two vacancies in the weekend rotation, there is alot of room for a hand-full of pitchers to step up. It's no secret that a couple of people in the bullpen were Raleigh's favorite whipping posts. I can't see more than two or three guys leaving. And quite honestly, they probably weren't ever gonna help the team anyway. I hope Locante isn't one of them. He can really help this team.

I have also a credible source that says most of the guys would love to leave and about 7 are seriously checking our their options. They love UT and the team but not CTR. As you know, the NCAA makes if very difficult to transfer and most players don't like to sit out a year in order to to to another D1 school. That leaves JUCO, D2 and NAIA. No one really wants to go through another year of CTR, but some of them have no other option.

Of the players remaining that actually saw the field last year, I would be absolutely shocked if anyone other than Adkins or Locante transferred.

I spoke to my source last night.. he prefers not reveal the boys names .. suffice it to say that if all these boys go it would not be good.. but the team will miss Locante

[VolDoc11]

and he will miss his team.

R.A has now lost his last 2 starts after being the first pitcher in Mets history to win his first 6 games.
