Defections?

Maybe he's playing the wrong sport:

Cornell sports profile>>> An accomplished baseball player as well, he was the most valuable player of the Minnesota American Legion state tournament in 2004, an award whose past winners include Dave Winfield and Terry Steinbach. A two-time letter-winner in baseball, he was selected to the Gopher All-Conference team in 2004.

or his trying to play both sports doesn't work for Schafer.

Oh God, he's a goofer!!!!!!!!!!!   That's enough reason to dispatch him.  :-)

At first I thought you were joking. Cornell Baseball

I can't imagine that makes Schafer happy.

I don't know which games he's played in but so far he is 6 for 8 with a double and a triple. Also 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 SB. And nobody has hit the ball at him because they are afraid! Not a bad start.

I'm pretty sure he made it known before he came to Cornell that he was going to play both sports. I remember Ari mentioning it on here.

But if the rumor is true, the fact that he's playing baseball probably rules out an academic/university reason why he isn't being asked back.

Yeah, you are probably right.  This wouldn't be a new development.

You're making it seem as if this is a done deal.  I believe it's still just a rumor, correct?

Yup.

It's hard to hit the ball at him when he's not playing defense.  He's only been DH & PH so far.

Well there's your proof! He clearly wants to defect to the WCHA!

This may belong in the other sports forum, but since Milo's baseball career is mentioned here, two-sport athletes had a good day today vs. Brown. Football QB Nathan Ford went 2-3 with 2 RBI and a run scored (plus 1 HBP). Milo went 3-4 with an RBI and a triple.

He is playing DH at the request of opposing coaches because they are afraid.

(I figured he was DH/PH (how can someone start two games in the infield and get zero chances>) but I didn't want to look it up.)

Insert rant about using the designated hitter in college.
