I saw someone posted earlier about all the player's eligibility left and whatnot. Any way too early predictions on what kind of lineup we will have next year?

Really hard to speculate until draft is over and portal transfers in /out are determined

Hurd will likely be a mainstay in the rotation and I expect Herring to emerge as well, timetable on some of the injured pitchers to be determined
Lineup will include Jones, Kling, Neal, Pearson and White for sure
Rest of positions depending on draft will be wide open

It's impossible to know until all the roster management stuff settles down some in a few weeks minimum after the draft/portal.

We dont who all is returning, we dont know who all is coming in, etc...

Tanks will be in the lineup, thats about all we know for the lineup for sure right now

I wonder if Travinski & Milazzo can both play? Rotate between catcher & DH

I'd add Jared Jones, Paxton Kling, and Josh Pearson. Probably Brady Neal as well.

What year is Pearson?

Looks like they got a few studs coming in at SS:

AUSTEN ROELLIG

MJ SEO

STEVEN MILAM

Think any of them make it to campus?

Imagine if all the eligible players returned:

Beloso
Crews
Morgan
White
Travinski
Thompson
Kling
Pearson
Milazzo
Jobert

And Skenes on the bump.

What if...

That's one big question I have. He was one of the best shortstops in HS, but he also did really well on the mound. Could see him as our everyday shortstop and part-time closer maybe.

Not disagreeing but I can still see scenarios where 3/4 of those guys dont end up starting still.

Just crazy what can happen in the portal, recruiting class and how things might fall in the end.

4 of the guys who started our opening game this season were not starters in the postseason.

Forgot about Jobert. Kept thinking he was done, but he does have 1 year left. Could definitely see him staying around.

Oh you're 100% right. That's just my best guess right now of guys I feel really confident about.

Hard to see Jones not starting, Kling you gotta figure comes around he was the top guy from the class as well but kind of never know there.

Pearson not trying to rib on him but he did have a pretty rough season, in/out of lineup, only hit .226/.393/.386 with 4 HR (in 137 AB) as a corner outfielder isn't going to cut it with the talent we can put out there. Better freshman year so he really just needs to return to form but I can see multiple guys really pushing for that spot.

Neal opened the season as a starter and only really went out due to injury but frankly would anyone argue Travinski/Milazzo werent better as far the season turned out? Neal has a ton of talent and dude was super young this year so not counting him out by any means but just goes to show how fast things can change even when we think we had it figured out early on and we didnt.

The injury part is true but his BA had tailed way off and his Ks were piling up once some tape on him got out. He will be much improved next season, but even without injury, I'm not sure he would have stayed as a regular with the way his batting was tailing off rapidly.

Also, Travinski loses a ton of draft leverage by coming back. Dude is gone, IMO.

Anyone know much about Tanner Reaves? You can hardly find info on him on the web, but he batted .422 with 20hrs in JC (Blinn) last year as a Freshman. He is a SS/2B/P
