I tend to lean with this one because the thread is about the "opening day" line up not the "Saturday" and "Sunday" one! Because I promise you those will be a little different on those days hahaha!!

Tatum gonna be our Friday night guy by SEC play. no doubts. Sets a better tone for a series than any guy we got on the staff.

To me the only 3 guys that proved themselves last season as hitters are Cody Brown, Luke Reynolds and Collins (when healthy). Everybody else has a LOT to prove offensively.

Hudson has 1st or 2nd round potential from everything I have seen. If he isn't the Friday night guy I hope it is because Tatum is pitching like Stratton his junior year.

My guesses
Fri- Dakota
Sat- Daniel Brown
Sun- Sexton
Midweek- Tatum
Closer- Houston
Bullpen- Billingsley, Rigsby, and whatever freshmen step up.
C- Kruger
1B- Lowe
2B- Holland to start the year. He better perform though.
3B- Collins
SS- Gridley to start the year. Could move to second if Holland struggles and then we start Alexander.
LF- Cody Brown
CF- Robson
RF- Humphreys
DH- Rooker
I expect to see a lot of Stovall, Marrero, Luke Reynolds, and Michael Smith too.

Pretty interesting hearing Cohen on Head to Head. He talked about the jumps Hudson and Rooker have made. Said Sexton and Brown r very solid. Talked about how Collins, Billingsley, and Young r fully healthy. Said some great battles on infield
3b-Collins and Reynolds
SS-Alexander and Gridley
2B-Holland and Stovall
1B-Lowe and Kruger
Said we might have the toughest schedule in the nation and players r excited about that.

Does anyone think Barfield gets a chance at DH some or does he redshirt?

Kruger is very good, but coming off biceps surgery. He most likely won't start opening day at anything other than 1b or DH if at all, because he's not throwing at full speed yet.

Sounds like middle infield will be strong. We've got several options at catcher and some strong OFs. If pitching throws like they're expected, it's just up to the bats IMO. I think this team has a chance to be pretty freaking good. Depth hasn't been better than it is now.

You can go ahead and get your glove ready in LFL with Sexton and Brown on the weekends.
I also would advise on Neck warmups so you don't tweak anything watching balls fly out of the park.

Holland had an insane .992 fielding percentage (2 errors in 256 attempts) last year and 1.000 (0 errors in 135 attempts) in SEC games. He also hit at a .274 clip during SEC games. Holland will man 2B. Stovall, a very talented player with a bright future, will get reps there in some games this year and start at 2B in 2017.
The fight at SS will be fun to watch and somebody's going to have to change positions at some point.

We will see! It's gonna be interesting in several positions. 2nd base is not as locked up as you think, take tonight's scrimmage as an example. Good to have options for sure!
