Me being greedy with regards to Cjintje returning, but YES!!!

Hines losing leverage could maybe be worth a little extra NIL to return (but probably not).

With regards to DJ, as some have alluded to his strikeout performance this year, he is leading the SEC in Ks meaning a little more seasoning would do him good, especially if he really performed in a Charlie Condon and Dylan Crews type level to jump into the upper part of Round 1.

Again, this is probably wishful thinking on my part and me being greedy.

Hines didn't win it.

DJ is what he is He's not going to break out with a Crews type year. He's a power hitter who strikes out a bunch. The MLB loves that these days. And with his leverage, a team will WELL overplay slot to get him to sign.

he's ineligible, cough cough... Yes on hines he can't come back and correct again on DJ. Mershon should come back, I know he wasn't mentioned but he is eligible to be drafted.

He's the one we need to get back. If we could return him and Pulliam, who we know is coming back, that locks down the middle infield. We know we're going to have to replace 1B,3B, and two outfield spots right now. Add on to that at least one starter spot, depends on what Stephen decides, and a couple of relievers. We will need to be active in the portal.

Cupp will fit in there somewhere. Mershon and Pulliam solid middle infield.

If either Cupp or Pulliam could learn to play 3B that would help us out A TON. I'd honestly prefer it to be Cupp. Mershon isn't exactly the smoothest 2B in the world and Cupp has the range to play it.

They arent returning. I wish baseball still had the 3 mandatory years rule but it doesnt. Just makes constructing a consistent roster that much tougher
