Duke's Aminah Vega and Cassidy Curd, FSU's Isa Torres and Jacky Franclik, VT's Jordan Lynch and.... There will be other players who will be considered very good-to-elite. Even our batting lineup, 1-8, is deemed a top one in the country capable of playing with anyone. But... if we denigated UVA's lineup past the top of the order as having little real depth comapred to VT, does that mean that several ACC teams don't have the real depth compared to SEC teams. Are they bringing pinchhitters off the bench that can kill you? No reallym right? If you look at the LSU batting lineup, it isn't as if they are stacked with all-Americans. Edwards and Bergeron got pre-season recognition. In thinking about money leading to more "stuff", some of that would have to be either coaches or players, right? A better rookie than Gabby Mizelle or Avery Layton or Mia Gagliardi? Better SS? Bettter 2b. I am not saying who would be "trade" to get better, but that is what it comes down to? Better players, better coaches... We seemingly have the technology, weight room, conditioning program... Then you evaluate the things that happen on the field.
