But after seeing the events unfold today, that dugout bench just got a whole lot warmer. I was actually thinking this earlier today. Funny you brought this up. He hasn't had any great seasons thus far. Mostly average ones. But in his defense he hasn't come close to the last two putrid seasons that Holtz has had. I still support the Coach and the baseball team....Hoping for good things in 2013! Go Bulls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's what i have gathered from a few members on the board. Coaching wise Prado is OK, but the team usually suffers from some kind of setback in the rotation every season and the bats dry up at the absolute worst times. The guy isn't inept, but baseball has been consistently mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear he doesn't recruit the area good enough. Only Jesuit ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High enough to not want to come to USF. The secondary recruits are good but not great. The biggest problem I've seen is the lack of any dominant hitters. We don't have a deep lineup with power. Normally its one guy and alot of slap hitters. It always seems like we have the smallest lineup in the Big East. Normally I wouldn't mind this if these guys could get on base more often, but they don't. So its way too much small ball for me. The pitching has been the strong part of the teams in recent years. Injuries happen and we've had our share, but the lack of power is the one obvious thing over the last 5 years that is missing. He does have a pipeline from Jesuit though. I think there are 2 more coming in this year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
