The new search function sucks, so I apologize if this has been talked about.

i read an article that JUCO Casey Yocom has won the 2B job. Anyone anything about him? PM says he hit over .400 this fall.

That looks to make the move of Jacoby JOnes to CF complete.

He says Fr. Tyler Moore has won the 1B job out of camp.

and he says Jackson Slaid could possibly DH

Rumblelow looks to be the closer this year.


Ty Ross reclaimed the Catchers spot this spring. Says he has lost 25lbs. Remember when Gibbs lost weight, he really took off.

Thanks for taking the trouble Lester, but I can't get too up for baseball when I see Christmas decorations.

Yocom has looked IMPRESSIVE from reports I've heard the past month. In my opinion the infield is no where near "set" besides Nola at SS, going to be a ton of competition in Jan. (Yocom and Moore have made their marks in the fall respectively). Yocom's a line drive hitter, not going to put up huge stats with the wiffle bats but he'll hit for a high average...think Rhmyes last year.

Watch out for Powell, he doesn't get much attention but has always been able to hit at every level he's played.

I'm really excited about Tyler Ross, he has a major league frame.

Edit: I love you Lester

It's never too early to talk baseball.. Especially when the only thing being discussed on the rant is 1) JJ vs JL 2) Charles Scott rape 3) Vote for MO

Do we need improvement at the HC position?

It is hard to take too much away from the intersquad games, but I went to 2 of them and Yocom was at 2B. I visited with the parents of a player I know and they said Yocom was one of the better hitters during the fall.

Jones was in CF in all the practices/scrimmages I saw. I think it is a done deal.

Moore played C, 1B and 3B during the fall. I understand he was in the mix and pushing Ross at C until Ross started tearing it up at the plate. Moore can hit and doesn't strike out much.

I know it's early, but I'm liking what I'm hearing so far.

Mainieri also said this in a radio interview yesterday evening. Arby Fields must be struggling at the plate.

Exactly, and at this point I wouldn't put Rhmyes out there with Fields better defensively and both getting at-bats.

No question in my mind that we will be improved.

So if Rhymes in LF and if Edwards doesn't win the 1B job does he DH, or is he on the bench this season?
