Tigers Counting on an Abundance of Arms to Shoulder the Load

Alan Dunn smiled at the question. It's one he's waited a long time to be asked.

As far as depth and potential of this staff, it seems like you have so many arms to pick from. How excited are you about that?

"I've never been on a pitching staff where I go, 'Man, I got too many arms,'" LSU's pitching coach fired back.

The one he leads this year might cut it close, though.

Two injury-plagued campaigns to LSU's arsenal of arms have taken a toll, but they've also taught lessons. Now armed with improved technology, increased numbers, and, yes, a couple of lefties, this year's Tiger rotation could be among the best in Dunn's tenure, and it could be enough to carry LSU back to Omaha, despite heavy turnover in the everyday lineup.
