The Skinny (by Mark Passwaters, AggieYell.com)
Jim Schlossnagle was brought over from TCU to fix a program that had stagnated under Rob Childress. In particular, the Aggies struggled offensively and with the bullpen in recent years. Schlossnagle undertook a massive rebuild right off the bat, and now has a team that is…struggling at the plate and in the bullpen.
The weekend starters have been solid. Dallas has pitched at an All-SEC level and Prager, a true freshman, has impressed. Dettmer’s record is skewed by a bad outing against Santa Clara last weekend.
Offensively, transfers Jack Moss and catcher Troy Claunch have been as advertised, hitting .389 and .321 respectively. But only four Aggies are hitting above .300 and, as a team, they’re hitting .261.
The bullpen has been battered repeatedly and has been a disappointment – save for two true freshmen. Chris Cortez has a fastball in the high 90s and leads the team with 8 appearances; Robert Hogan has a nasty slider and leads the team with 2 saves.
