The ability of these freshmen to step in and hit at a high level already is incredibly difficult and really impressive.

I just hope these kids can be patient. Some may not get as many AB's as others.

The Fall returns say the vets need to live at the park with the freshmen this winter.

The boys were doing something right with those late nights Jay talked about over the summer.

Nawrocki Santarelli and Washington will be very hard to keep out of the lineup
Sides and L Schmidt on the mound along with Nawrocki

I'm curious if Washington will go back to the OF in the spring. He provides some valuable RHH depth, along with Patrick, in the OF. The entire starting OF could be LHH, if it goes Bino, Wachs, and Laya...and it probably will unless one of them slides to DH. The infield and catcher are more RHH heavy.

My guess is that he will be back to the outfield. It's a small sample size but Ruckert and Loew seem to have better gloves. I think Jay is just looking at what options he has with Washington if there are injuries or Washington's bat pushes his way into a starter role. He could end up either IF or OF depends on what opens up but I think outfield is his better option defensively.

I agree. Fall ball is the time to try things out and see what options you have. And also knowing they you will lose most of your infield after this season.

I think the Washington in the infield experiment is more for next season than this season. There's really no advantage to it this year except for having him versatile enough to do both.

Washington feels like the backup at 3B huh

The team does not have many non-DH type RH hitters. In the same vain as Ruckert will be a LH utility guy, Washington will be the RH version. I think he will be used in the inf & OF

it's so hard to predict what 28 roster will look like until LSU works the portal
if these fr stick to the roster though you may not have to hit the portal so hard and you can actually spend the $ on current players

I’m talking about this year Nic

Washington is one of a few RH bench bats. He will see time

Lester I agree with you. We seem to be in a healthy position as to we can have a LH and RH player that can give starters a rest. As you said I think Washington is an everyday starter next year.

I think Washington, as RHH, may get more time in the OF than it seems on the surface.

I think Laya is going to be on the sophomore year Jake Brown plan. He's not great against lefties. I think they'll get him reps there but not over expose him.

That's where Washington and Patrick will get a little more opportunity.

I also think that there will be late game defensive opportunities for Washington, Davis, and Patrick. Laya has an arm, but isn't a plus defender. Wachs is a capable CF, but would be better in the corners when you need to shore up defense. Bino is a LF.

Jay is going to have a lot of fun making lineups this year regardless of it all. There's not many wrong choices

This was a good listen. Really highly talked up Washington, Santarelli, and Nawrocki

Anyone have insight from the scrimmage today? I could use a BPB thread.
