ell_13 - Can I get your thoughts on 2017 line-up?

Consensus seems to be that Poche leaves. Freeman says he will talk to Dodgers (but I expect him to stay). From what I hear, Josh Smith is extremely talented and will be on the field next year, but where? Do you move Duplantis and a weak arm to centerfield? What happens to Romero - still behind Pap and Deichman has first base locked up?

With a very young team and a talented recruiting class coming in, fall baseball will be interesting and it will be interesting to see how PM manages the scholarship numbers. There are always those "wild cards" that leave expectantly (Byrd and Zardon in 2015). Any insight on what the 2017 roster will look like and who our starting 8 are?

Tons is still up in the air. Hard to say anything with any confidence before mid July after signing day.

Freeman Stallings and Poche are threats. And I know many think Poche is a lock to go but he'll be negotiating and you never know what can happen. Same in the opposite direction for Freeman. Many see him staying but who knows how things work out in negotiations.

We had a great draft from a HS standpoint. Only Pint and Nonie look to be gone. Weatherly will listen to offers. He's a JUCO transfer pitcher.

As far as other position players, again, it's tough to say. With as well as we did with the draft, lots of guys will have to leave. Romero wants to play and may not want to compete for time his senior year. Deichmann is not a lock at 1B. Pretty safe to assume Duplantis moves over to CF.
