From Baseball America:

"2. Mike McCallister, of, Liberal (Alabama)

The 6-foot-3, 225-pound McCallister missed the first half of the Jayhawk League season while attending summer school at Alabama, but he made a big impression in the second half, hitting .441-5-21. McCallister has all the tools. He's got quick hands and can drive balls to all fields. He's an average outfielder but possesses right-field arm strength. He's primed to be a top draft pick in 2006."

Gabe Scott joined McCallister in Kansas this summer to pick up a few at bats, and finished at a respectable .277 (18 for 65) with 2 homers and 10 RBI in 19 games.

Yes, rolltide15, I believe we will be much better this season. The pitching staff will have to compensate for the losses of Tankersley, Johnson, Walker, and Norris, but LeBlanc is as good an ace as you will find anywhere, and with Carter getting back on track and Belcher healthy again, we'll be in great shape.

The lineup suffered no major losses to speak of, and I believe that the returning players will be much improved, not to mention the fact that several of the new guys certainly have the talent to make significant contributions as well.

Practice starts September 27th.
