I searched and couldn't find a thread on this.


It is hard to project IMO, because Mainieri tinkered with it so much last year, there's no telling what position some guys will play and where they will bat.
But here is my best guess, and maybe yall can fill in the gaps or correct me if I'm wrong.

1b- Dozar
2b- Hanover
3b- Edward
c- Ross/Snikeris
ss- Nola
Lf- Katz
cf- Jones
rf- Field
DH- Rhymes





SP- McCune
SP- Gausman
SP- Eades

Bullpen

?

Ah. Right.

I'm just not sure where he plays Edward or if/where he plays Dozar and who the hell catcher will be.

Really? Who would be our outfield then? Surely not Magee? huh?

After looking at the roster, he might start by default. Our outfield is really weak.

Where will the power come from? I don't see 50 home runs in that line up.

Jacoby could be a special player if he gets some consistency in his swing.

Arby is fricking fast and is really good at getting on base. Could be a lead off hitter if he adjusts to SEC pitching.

I don't see why Ross would lose his place behind the plate. He just needs to work a little more at the plate. I also think that Rhymes will get to play in the field this year, but I'm not sure where. Fields and Yocom should play good roles for us this year also. I'm not sure I wouldn't give Yocom the start over Dozar.

Gotta adjust. There won't be many homeruns. You can't just give up because we don't have power hitters.

His glove is really a liability. Arby Fields is pretty good with his glove but it'll all depend on if he can hit .300 in the SEC.

Maybe.

Dozar struggled last year at the plate. The reason I'd start Yocom early is too see how he does against the little teams. We know that Dozar can come in and give us a .250->.275 performance. Lets see if we can top that with Yocom.

Rhymes may stay at DH this year because of that reason. Only thing I was thinking was that if you put Rhymes in the field you have a proven player that can produce. Lets you rotate the DH until you can find another.

I don't think Fields will start. Didn't hit well in fall.

I see Yocum playing third, Edward at first or right. Not sure Dozar starts either.
