My early projections
C- JUCO kid (name escaping me)
1st- Murr, given
2nd- Jarrett. Giving him the nod right now due to how well he hit in this condensed year.
3rd- D. Brown. Of course he is playing somewhere, here or RF? This leaves Mensik out of the lineup
SS- Torres, given
LF- Butler, given
CF- Tyler Mac, given (here or a 2nd)
RF- Soles. Early nod to Soles, but a lot can change. Tatum or Brown (or a newcomer) and come here, but IMO Soles offers the most upside with Brown at 3rd.
DH- Tresh
SP- Johnston. Tough start to the year, but hopefully a fully healthy Johnston can give us 6-7 good innings
SP- Villaman. Too much upside to not have him start one would think.
SP- Pace/Harrison/Cotter/new comer. Pace looked very solid in limited innings. Harrison was great as well, but can we finally be a good sunday guy? Cotter a dark horse here, but he might be very good at the back end of the pen as well. Could also see Highfill being a Sunday option b/c he seems like a mini Reid to me.
Bullpen (no order)- 2 of the guys who dont start Sunday, Highfill, Willadsen, Feeney, Bender, Baker Nelson, Evan Justice, new comers, Kylman (hopefully).
Way too many variables and options for the rotation right now, but we will need a couple younger guys to take that step up. The offense should be LOADED and have a lot of options.
