patrick and ruckert?

Ruckert was just starting to get much more comfortable at the plate and had been nails at 2nd the last 3 series. He hit alot of pitches, maybe not for base hits but he was making good contact and you could see the beginnings of him showing some power.. Patrick is an athletic kid but he is going to have to hit to remain in line up. Jmo

I think he said Brown, because your title was 2026 lineup and not 2027.

As of today, my batting order vs RHP would be,

1. Mason Braun - LF - L
2. Omar Serna - C/DH - R
3. Bino Watters - RF - L
4. Cade Arrambide - C/DH - R
5. Steven Milam - SS - L
6. Cade Kurland - 2B - R
7. Will Adams (If he makes it through the draft) - 1B - L
8. Dawson Parks - 3B - R
9. Malachi Washington (If he makes it through the draft) - CF - R

& my batting order vs LHP would be,

1. Mason Braun - LF - L
2. Omar Serna - C/DH - R
3. Bino Watters - RF - L
4. Cade Arrambide - C/DH - R
5. Steven Milam - SS - R
6. John Pearson - 1B - R
7. Cade Kurland - 2B - R
8. Dawson Parks - 3B - R
9. Malachi Washington (If he makes it through the draft) - CF - R

Obviously hoping for the best with Adams, Washington, & Santarelli in the draft as they seem to be in that 50/50 college or pro tier. I will not be surprised to see Braun play a lot more 1st if Adams is drafted and signs. Could very well be a situation where he starts at 1st against RHP and in a corner outfield spot against LHP similar to Tre Morgan in 23 when we were fishing to find a way to get as many bats in the lineup as possible. Also going tohave Ruckert & Patrick in the mix but going to have to hit and embrace their role to find AB's.
