dPbeballin Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I agree Oakland should have a solid team this year, although they are a little grey in some aspects. I dont think their pitching will take them very far, yet their lineup will score some runs. It will be hard for them to go from 16-16 to the top of the district. Do they have any seniors that can step up besides Warren? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shingaurds Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Another post said Warren is the only senior? I do not know if that is true and certainly hard to believe. Is there any truth to this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any truth to this?? Yes, he is our only senior.... so I guess it would be accurate to say, " WE SIGNED EVERY SR at OHS this yr!"

Shingaurds Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I am sure he is getting big looks. Speed, defense, and a good bat...Does he have any pop in his bat? Does Oakland have homerun power or gap to gap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidTennFootball Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 is polk getting any college attention? i know he's only a junior, but i've heard middle has already taken an interest I am sure he is getting big looks. Speed, defense, and a good bat...Does he have any pop in his bat? Does Oakland have homerun power or gap to gap? From what Ive heard, Oakland has a few that are getting looks from programs as high up as the SEC, not the great programs, but its still the SEC nontheless. Polk barely missed out on a .400 average last year and at one point was around the .430 mark. Oakland doesnt have great power, but a bunch of guys with adequate power who can hit for average. Tennyson Dodd and Mitch Warren can crank it pretty good. Burnett, Fann, and a few others will be able to hit a few circuit clouts, but nothing that will be in the jeremy slayden range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Time Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Great to be back on the baseball message boards! Really? I would have said Oakland has real good power. I saw Oakland play 4 or 5 times last year and here is what I saw. I saw Drew Fann hit a bomb at the reservation that was still climbing when it left the park. I saw Mitch Warren hit one to the dugouts on the girls softball field and then another one that disappeared over the scoreboard a couple days later. THEN...Tennyson Dodd hit 2 one game. One may have been wind assisted, the other would have been out of any park anywhere. I may need to be on their payroll to watch their games. The Warriors will hit more out this year. Chad Hunter, Will Skinner of course, Pleas Wright will crank a few as will Chason Choate. I look for Chad to lead the district in homers even though he is a junior. The Warriors will defend their district title very well this season. This maybe the best balanced this district has been in a while. Defense, good hitting, and a solid pitching staff, anchored by Choate, will give Riverdale the advantage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwAnG Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Does Oakland baseball have a website?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Time Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Yes, he is our only senior.... so I guess it would be accurate to say, " WE SIGNED EVERY SR at OHS this yr!" What happened to Matt Taylor? And yes on post 10 of this thread someone has put the website link on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shingaurds Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 He was not very happy and had left the team last year. He came back and was injuried during fall ball. I heard he had some illnesses as well. Heard from the Patriot camp he would've battle for playing time with some younger players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
