    Our rotation could be Loo, Loftin, and Stevens.

Being able to pitch with both arms also lessens his risk. If not we have Luke Dotson, we get Makhai Grant back, and we're going to be active in the portal with a real pitching coach this time.

    C- Highfill or Spalitta. We'll get another catcher in the portal regardless.

    1B- McKenzie
    2B- Mershon
    3B- Henry Allen- one of the top high school prospects this year who we should get through the draft.
    SS- Cupp

    LF- Aaron Downs
    CF- Dante Nori- another top high school prospect I think we get through the draft
    RF- Nolan Stevens
    DH- Bryce Chance


    We'll be better than people think. And we'll go after some corner INF/OF players in the portal and be more than fine and probably a closer as well like Aaron Nixon.
    We need that big hitting 1st/3rd baseman to come from the portal. I also wouldnt be against getting a new hitting coach regardless, if either of those situations happened.

    I'm sure we will target at least 2-3 corner OF/INF types with at least one being a third baseman. McKenzie and Downs can play first if we crap out in the portal. I feel pretty confident in Stevens improving.

    We lose a lot- so that means we'll probably be fairly active in the portal IMO. Because we should have some NIL money opening up. Including pitchers- I'm guessing we'll bring in a minimum of 8 new players. Of course we have to see how the draft plays out.

    Or

    Finish 17-13 in conference
    2nd in West, 5th overall
    Get a #1 seed but lose in regional final

    Keep or fire Lemonis?

    From what I have seen so far these are VERY LIKELY scenarios
    Keep him in either scenario.
