May 17, 201016 yr Its no secret that Cory Farris is not happy with his playing time at UK for the BatCats. There is word on the street that he is considering coming home to play both football and baseball at UC. Smart move? Thoughts?
May 17, 201016 yr I know the scholarship situation is pretty tight next year for both baseball and football, but I'll check into it on the UC side and see what's going on...
May 18, 201016 yr Its no secret that Cory Farris is not happy with his playing time at UK for the BatCats. There is word on the street that he is considering coming home to play both football and baseball at UC. Smart move? Thoughts? He started most of the games up until lately I think. Maybe his batting avg. going down constantly and UK trying to make the SEC tournament, the coach feels he needs someone else in the lineup to hit at this time.
May 18, 201016 yr I've gone to quite a few UK baseball games and was wondering why Farris was not in the lineup lately in the outfield. He hit OK in most of the games I saw. He has some power. When he gets on, he can steal a base or two and can score easily from 2nd. Gets to a lot of balls in outfield alleys. Has anyone heard that he might have an injury?
May 18, 201016 yr Farris definitely should be in the lineup for UK, although do you really think that he wants to ruin his chance at the Bigs. I mean the kid is a flat out stud at baseball.

May 20, 201016 yr Author Regardless of where he ends up, I wish him well. He always seemed to represent himself well on and off of the field.
May 22, 201016 yr Per Rivals.com alpuj101 Post #1 MyFanPage Add Buddy Spilling some beans here on Kentucky baseball Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its a sad day in the life of a UK baseball fan. As I type this, we're down 16-0 to the worst team in the SEC. Now we're on the outside looking in. Ive been waiting to do this simply because UK has played good as of late. Also, I write this because Kendall said to give Henderson a mulligan (he probably doesnt know the whole situation). Also to note, I have been to a ton of UK baseball games and have been an avid follower since the 2006 season. However, I have had enough of Henderson. As I talked with some baseball parents last weekend, many were Word Filter ViolationWord Filter ViolationWord Filter ViolationWord Filter Violation off. Henderson refuses to play Cory Farris, a very talented outfielder, for no reason. The result is a transfer to Cincinatti (you'll hear this officially later on). Logan Darnell, where did the guy go? What used to be our weekend starter disappeared after the Tennessee series. Henderson claimed he was hurt, but was he? No. The truth is that the two had a conversation in which Darnell said if he was drafter he would go pro. In spite, Henderson sits the kid for two weeks. After speaking with Logan and some parents, all said that he wasnt actually injured. Zach Cox, the stud hitter who plays for Arkansas, was going to attend UK. However, "something" happened on his recruiting visit to deter him from playing baseball. I wonder what happened there? One last thing. Many parents I talk to (that are parents of pitchers) are worried about their kids arm being ruined. If you look at the past roster, EVERY ace has been injured under Cohen and never really recovered. (Scott Green, Greg Dombrowski, Chris Rusin, James Paxton, Nick Kennedy, and now Alex Meyer) Its time for a change in Lexington. This coaching staff can recruit, but they sure do Word Filter ViolationWord Filter ViolationWord Filter ViolationWord Filter Violation players off (and subsequently run kids off), and they cant coach anything out of a wet paper bag. Whats happening is a never ending cycle: recruit great kids, then sitting on their hands and not coaching them.

We will lose ray, bisson, black, nidiffer, glad, farris, wiley, and darnell. not a whole lot returning, not a whole lot coming in. Posted on 5/21 11:11 PM | IP: Logged
May 22, 201016 yr If his average has been consistently going down, can you really blame the coach? I could buy this argument if that seemed to be true. Looking at UK's stats the player that has been playing over Farris since his playing time dropped is Neiko Johnson. Johnson's avg has not been over .200 since early Mar. Make your own conclusions from the stats. There is stuff going on other than performance Check out the link from Rivals.com: http://collegebaseball.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=2308&tid=133893092&mid=133893092&sid=1169&style=2
