Makes sense.

I didn't see Hamilton in the update. I know he was not doing very well but did the Indians let him go?

Looks to me like they only included the 2013 selections on this list. Nick Hamilton (along with David Lyon, David Starn, etc.) were part of the 2012 draft class. Last I saw he hit .211 at Mahoning Valley but has struggled so far at Lake County going just 8/52.

Also, with Flashes in the minors, it looks like Andrew Chafin is finally putting up solid numbers, 10-6 for Mobile in AA, with a 2.96 ERA. He's not getting as many strikeouts, but also has cut down the walks.

Travis Shaw is also in AA, at Portland, leading his team with 15 homers, but with a .222 batting average

Greg Rohan spent a lot of this year on the DL, but I see he's back active at Iowa in AAA

Chris Carpenter is playing in AAA, 5.32 ERA, for Pawtucket

Kyle Hallock had a surprise promotion by Houston from A to AAA early this season, did well in 9 games at Oklahoma City, but is back at AA now, and struggling.

Do you think it's time we take down the banner for the Golden Flashes at Water and Haymaker? It's promoting the 2012 team that went to the NCAA tournament, and won the MAC tournament. Now that the 2013 season is over, I think it's dated.

New hitting facility & parking lot/area ground breaking this Saturday morning.

Sounds promising for our program.

Believe it or not, KSU baseball will be heading west in less than a month to take on the University of Arizona Wildcats on February 14th.

Here is their schedule: http://www.kentstatesports.com/schedule....h=baseball

Very interested to see who wins the 3 weekend rotation spots and who the starting lineup is, as this recruiting class was very talented.

KSU defeats Coppin State (5-0) and Winthrop (8-5) to start the Coca-Cola Classic this weekend.
