A legit Friday night ace who can DH.

A rotation of Skenes, Cade, and Gartman would be as good as anyone in the country.

And a lineup of

Larry - 2B
Ledbetter - LF
Hines - 1B
Skenes - DH
Portal CF (Bill Knight?)
Clark - RF
Hancock - C
Alford - 3B
Forsythe - SS

would be pretty stout too.
Skenes would be huge. I'm also a little nervous about putting all of our eggs in his basket. I don't feel bad about getting him- I just don't know what he is going to do and there is competition for him.

The biggest thing to focus on is pitching. There aren't very many Friday night guys in the portal. I think Nate Dohm is going to compete for a rotation spot along with Gartman and if we get Colby Holcombe he'll be in the mix as well. We need to add at least three arms to the bullpen and one needs to be a closer type and one of the others needs to be LH.
