2027 SEC Transfer Draft: Who Built the Best Roster?
Q: What gives you confidence in Beano Waters as a cornerstone outfielder?
His reputation as one of the best pure hitters, plus the perception that Jay Johnson's system and the ballpark will unlock more offensive potential for him.
2027 SEC Transfer Draft: Who Built the Best Roster?
Q: How do you evaluate the value of a two-way player in this exercise?
We discuss whether to count WAR from both hitting and pitching, and acknowledge that there weren't many obvious two-way contributors, making it a nuanced call.
2027 SEC Transfer Draft: Who Built the Best Roster?
Q: Why did you choose Ian Armstrong as your first pick?
Because he led the WAR leaderboard among transfers last year and has power, hit for average, and catcher's WAR potential with pitch-framing value.
Around the Horn: Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama Roster Breakdown
Q: Who is likely to anchor the rotation behind the top two for Texas?

Around the Horn: Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama Roster Breakdown
Q: Who is going to be the centerpiece of this lineup for Georgia?
They suggest Mikey Bell as a potential centerpiece at third base, with Henry Allen, Jake Hanley, and Jett Gilliam in the mix to provide power and balance, while Junior Lawaki adds a high-power, high-strikeout profile; the consensus is a multi-man approach rather than a single obvious centerpiece.
