re: No freshmen in lineup

One is out for the season, one missed time with injury which hurt his development, and one is primarily a pitcher for now who will throw in key situations in the postseason.

Yes, experience is big in the postseason but that isn’t the main reason most of those guys aren’t playing.

I said for a variety of reasons. Injuries aside though, Guidry didn't beat out Thompson or Dugas, Neal didn't outperform Travinski or Milazzo, Jones didn't outperform Beloso, and Kling didn't outperform Jobert. I just thinks it's interesting. Every year people look at recruiting rankings and try to pencil players into the lineup but it still hard to beat out the experienced guys.
