You're obviously one of the smes on baseball if you're already calculating stuff like this.

Give me your breakdown on Western. Do we have any hope for optimism? I don't see any. I wasn't sold on this guy when we got him and aside from him getting new turf put in all I've seen him do is have 2 teams in a row lay down on him like I've never seen at Western baseball.

Pawlowski has had some success at his other stops. Won 64% of his games at CoC and 57% at Auburn. Won a regional at CoC in 2006 and hosted a regional at Auburn in 2010 (eliminated USM, actually). So, he's had some success. I don't know what's happened in 2016 and 2017 at WKU.

WKU is in the top half of both of the returning production charts, so they should contend for one of the 8 spots in Biloxi. Not sure what kind of players you guys are bringing in for 2018. If you bring in a bunch of good JUCO players, that can often provide a big boost (see LaTech in 2016).

Returning production stats mean little if a team's production was lacking in 2017.
