We haven't seen Ricken or Theophilus, who both look like they could be starters over the long term. I don't think we've seen Lachenmeyer either, who could profile as a starter or reliever.

Theophilis if I had to guess. Jay is enamored.

Theophilus, meaning "friend of God" or "loved by God," is the recipient of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Addressed as "most excellent," he was likely a high-ranking Roman official or a wealthy patron who supported Luke's work. His name signifies a specific individual needing confirmation of faith.

Actually, straight out of the Bible. Theophilis is who Luke wrote his gospel and the Acts of the Apostles to.

Luke 1:1-4
1 Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and [c]servants of the word, 3 it seemed fitting to me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in an orderly sequence, most excellent Theophilus; 4 so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.

Act 1:1
The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had given orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He had chosen.

I don't know about that, Les, but Luke did call him most excellent. Here's hoping he has a night of biblical proportions against Nicholls.

I kind of want Zion Theophilus just because his name is so badass.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Cooper Williams. I think they need to get him ready to potentially start on the weekends. Tonight would be a good step in that direction, unless they plan on him being a top arm out the bullpen. I'd like him to be the backup plan for Schmidt. If the control issues keep up with Schmidt, I'm not sure how you can keep him in the weekend rotation in SEC play. Not to mention the mental part seems to be a big deal with him. He had some issues getting back on track Sunday after a bad call by the ump.

Like Kevin Youkilis was nicknamed "The Greek God of Walks".
AKA Moneyball.
