Feinberg played a lot of 3B as a FR and has been moved there from 2B in recent games. French has also moved from 1B to fill the hole at 2B,and Giobbi returns to 1B where he saw significant playing time last season. I'd like to concur with your point that Vandy is better on the mound than SC,but currently that just isn't true. I'll stack our ace (Minor) against anyone,but after that it gets a bit shaky. Christiani was erratic last season and got off to a shaky start against Miami (Ohio). Jacobson was also unreliable much of last year and has been awful this season,absorbing both our losses in consecutive drubbings. The rest of the staff consists of newcomers or walk-ons who still need to develop and prove themselves. Pedro will definitely be missed,but it is unlikely Giobbi will fill in at 3B.

Hopefully Pedro's injury does not have this affect his draft standing like Wes Hodges did a few years ago. This shows you just how hard it is to make it to the major leagues.

Vandy has a great wealth of talent, and it is sad that we can only play 9 at one time.
