I agree. I think offensively we will be in the top of SEC. Pitching is really going to be the biggest factor on where we end up.

RF and DH are the only wide open offensive/defensive spots.

I haven't kept up enough but is Crews a lock for CF instead of playing in RF?

Berry, Thompson, Doughty, Morgan are or IFs.

IMO I think we are going to see a lot of Merrifield at 3rd base.

If Gio wins out, than Crews will stay at RF. If Drost wins out, Crews will move to CF and Drost to RF.

I actually think we will see more Merrifield at 3B than Berry. Berry will move to DH when Merrifield is in.

It's the only place he's been practicing.

That would put Berry at DH. I could see that, too. would drop the open spot to just one. Pretty amazing considering where we were last year.

I will add that we may have some pretty good leadership that can overcome the talent gap to other teams even in terms of pitching. Some of Skip's "best" teams weren't nearly as talented as their counterparts. I'll say that on paper, we should be middle of the pack, but I honestly think that's the floor.

I think it will depend on the lineup/matchups. But I could see him there quite a bit.

Merrifield could be the primary back up at 3rd and 2nd while also the being either 1 or 2 at DH.

Pitching is going to hinge on Reyzelman's ability to get through a line up 3 times. Hilliard can continue to hold down Sundays and really help there. We have a bunch of guys that could get one or two times through a line up, but we need a horse that reduce the number of decisions that need to made on a given weekend.
