Troy must not have a lot of pitching depth.

Picked to win the West and no players on first team all conference. That has to be some sort of record.

There is depth. It's unproven depth though.
We lost our Friday starter to the MLB Draft (Levi Thomas).
We still have our Saturday and Sunday starters though, plus all of our relief pitchers. We also have the best closer in the SBC back (Lance Johnson).
Troy picked up a Florida State transfer in Ryan Pettys, who is a lefty pitcher that was a highly-rated recruit. Plus some JUCO transfer pitchers. That's where the unproven depth lies. I'm guessing Pettys will be a starter.
We also have Judson Hershiser.... if that last name sounds familiar, he's the nephew of MLB great Orel Hershiser. He was a hot-shot pitching recruit until he got injured during his junior/senior years of high school, and all the P5's pulled their offers. Troy is hoping he'll turn out to be a big get.
