Estill loss 5 seniors and 4 starters. They return loads of talent but we lost just as much players as powell and we still remain 2nd? wtf give powell some cred.

But it's the QUALITY of the starter that you lost. Had you guys lost Freeman, Clowers, and Benedict (that would be the equivalent to Brewer, Kinser, and Pelfry) do you think you'd be nearly as good? Not to mention they lost their #3 pitcher / shortstop Proffitt, and another outfielder in Ryan. Powell Co. lost their top three pitchers and three year starting catcher.
