INJURY NEWS: @Vol_Baseball leading hitter, 2B Jeff Moberg, will miss the rest of the season because of an ACL injury. Tough blow for #Vols.
Breaks my heart for something like this to happen to a senior, what a great season #6 was having. Godspeed young man.
Yep, it really does. He's waited for his time, put in all those summers and he gets out there and had been making the most of it....and then this. Really is sad.
Feel for him and his family, I really do.
Medical Hardship Requirements:
To be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, a student-athlete has to meet the following criteria:
The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.
The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.
The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season.
The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.
I have him at 28% but math is not my strong suit, have you figured it yet OT?
Of course he's a senior, probably close to graduating, might just want to move on I guess.
I hate that for Moberg. I'm not sure we can replace what he brought to the table this year.
I agree at the plate...just guessing on my part, maybe Leno or Pruett...Pruett was in the lead off role last year if memory serves. Hall could move up to the 1 spot maybe...guess we'll find out soon enough, #8 team in the country coming' to town and all...geesh, when are we gonna catch a break.
Defensively I think Pruett gets his shot (again) at 2nd. Leno has hit pretty well as a DH and could also step in defensively in the infield.
Yeah, I think they move Hall up to leadoff and Pruitt to 2nd to move Hall over...hitting in front of Senzell will be a plus for Pruitt if he's in that spot.

I think it will be one of those two as well. We are now down Serrano, Moberg, and Westphal. All 3 are extremely valuable pieces. Hopefully the guys rally and stay hot at the plate.
that makes sense too...CDS has his work cut out for him with pitching rotations and now this.
