I came across this slightly dated article previewing the 2008 Ivy League baseball season today, and it’s got some good tidbits. Also interesting was the same blog’s interview with Penn coach John Cole, which was posted on Thursday. Looks like Tom Grandieri, whose sibling should ring a bell with any loyal Buzz reader, will be lacing up for Cole this year after appearing in 17 games (31 AB and 7.2 IP) for Villanova last season as a freshman. Fortunately for the Quakers, he won’t have to sit out the year, because the new rules forcing baseball transfers to wait a year — like basketball or football transfers do — won’t go into effect until 2008.
Other additions and subtractions: Sophomore Jake Palumbo (OF) and junior Matt Grimes (IF) are each off the Penn roster, while senior John D’Agostini (RHP) is on for what I believe is the first time.
It’s been a bit of a thin week here at The Buzz, but Happy Holidays from all of us nonetheless. Check back after Christmas and we’ll start talking about the Florida Gulf Coast and Miami basketball games.
