garn Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 More inside the link. Knowing that baseball is right around the corner is a great sign that the winter from hell for most of us is almost over. http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2010/01/29/baseball/doc4b6228fde3f50672098963.txt “There’s a lot of anticipation — I know that,” sophomore third baseman Cody Asche said. “It’s been a long offseason.” For Asche — who hit .290 while starting 33 of 43 games last spring — some of the pent-up emotion is the product of missing most of summer ball because of a hand injury. But mostly, it’s because the Huskers went 25-28-1 last year. Since then, Nebraska has added 20 players to a roster that will be at 35 when play begins Feb. 19 at 2008 national champion Fresno State. NU’s recruiting class was ranked 13th-best nationally by Collegiate Baseball, but eighth-year coach Mike Anderson has a hunch his returning players will set the tone. “There’s some veteran guys that have a bad taste in their mouth,” he said. “It’s good. Chemistry is good. Bonding is good. Talent level, I think, is improved. It’s a matter now of finding out the unknowns of the season. The unknown is how we’re going to perform. You just don’t know.” Among the eight regular-position returnees who made at least 20 starts in 2009 are All-Big 12 first baseman Tyler Farst, who hit a team-best .333, and right fielder Adam Bailey, who led NU with 12 home runs and 50 RBIs.

Plus Lord knows we need all the pitching we can get after last year... God I simply cannot wait for 1st pitch... Then add the fact its @ Fresno.. Should be a good chance for early resume building wins. Quote Link to comment
