Interesting addition to the roster. Sure hope he is able to finish his college eligibility by doing some great things on the diamond that he will want to tell his grandchildren about.

Good reports from other players about T.J. They say, "he can really bring it!" He will surely be in competition for the open weekend starter slot.
