They’re all tough! PH: Baseball bloggers, these days, love to talk about sabermetrics. What’s your personal take on them Do you look at sabermetric stats when preparing to pitchSM: There is a place for numbers, but the only one I care about is the zero at the end of the inning. It’s easy to over-evaluate.And that concludes my candid interview with Seth McClung of the Brewers. Once again I would like to personally thank Seth for doing the interview with me.. Over the years the Washington Huskies have had their share of playmakers at the wide receiver position.From Spider Gaines to Reggie Williams, the Huskies have had several notable wide receivers throughout the years.This current group of young Husky wideouts, led by Jermaine Kearse, is trying to resurrect the reputation of Husky Legends from the past. Any discussion of pass catchers in regards to Washington needs to also include the tight end position.

Although at one time tight ends were only known for blocking, nowadays they have to catch the ball too, and the Huskies have had a long list of NFL-quality tight ends, earning the school a reputation as "Tight End U" as recently as the '90s. While there hasnt been a notable tight end since 2002, UW had six tight ends drafted in the NFL between 1992 and 1998. Sophomore tight end Kavario Middleton is trying to bring back the proud tradition of tight ends at Washington. The group is rounded off by three sophomores and a freshman when looking at those that have caught a pass, but in total there are 11 receivers currently on the roster. All are freshman or sophomores except for two juniors, the aforementioned Goodwin and seldom-used Tony Chidiac. Here is a quick look at the returning impact receivers and how they performed thus far in the 2009 season.The leading receiver for this group in 2009 is sophomore Jermaine Kearse.

Kearse has grabbed 43 catches for 719 yards and seven touchdowns. Second in receptions is another sophomore, Devin Aguilar, who has provided 521 yards through 37 catches He has also hauled in three touchdown passes. Aguilar is another steady performer who has shown decent hands and good elusiveness in the open field Third in receptions is the true freshman James Johnson. Johnson has shown big play ability with his 37 catches for 406 yards. Reaching the end zone three times on the year, Johnson looks to have a bright future for Washington. Coming in fourth for receptions for receivers is Junior DAndre Goodwin DAndre has proved 227 yards on 14 catches. Not as frequently used as a target, he is still a good option to throw the ball to and as a junior has some experience at the college level.
