I think one thing to keep in mind is that we will probably be WORSE in '25 than we will be in '24. So if Lemo can only get us to a 2 seed that fails to make a Super, then what's that say about '25?
With Montgomery- the line-up will easily be better in 2024.

Highfill 24 > Highfill 23
Hines 24 > Hines 23
Jordan 24 > Jordan 23
Mershon 24 > Merson 23
Larry 24 at worst equals Larry 23
Montgomery will at worst equal Clark and is likely a better defender
Hugesak will have more power than Led. Doubt he matches him in average or obp
Our Cali signee at DH could exceed Hancock 23....would not surprise if so

Line-up will easily be better with Monty
