Injuries starting early this year...Burkhamper likely will not be ready the first weekend due to shoulder soreness.  Not good news considering he has had battles with this in the past and it greatly affected his velocity when he returned.  Was counting on him having a good year for us.  Hopefully they can get him fully healthy for the Big Ten season.

Know anything about Tillotson? Encouraging to see him get some pub.

I believe he was our highest rated recruit.  Will probably live in the mid to upper 80's this year.  Should get quite a few innings this year....possibly a midweek starter? 

Yeah im guessing he helps eat up some of the innings King had last season. Can't wait to drink some beers and watch the Frisco Tournament on watchespn.
