I still would have a hard time sitting a guy like Vickerson, Brown, or even Michael Smith over Swinarski.

There's no point in playing Humphreys at third. We don't need to create a logjam with two power hitters when we're going to put both in the lineup at the same time anyway. It's much more beneficial to let him play the OF and let him learn what he is going to play anyway.

We should turn our attention to next season anyway. But with the fact that we have so many upperclassmen on the team, that basically means playing Ryan Gridley more. Really right now if I was Cohen I would be thinking about who I would cut in the offseason. The good news is we lose some of our "leaders"- Rea, Ross, Fitts, Heck, Britton, I think Robson will get drafted and leave probably, Vickerson, Laster, and Cody Walker. I would end the Waddell as a first baseman experiment and just let him pitch. I would probably cut either Reynolds or Spruill. I would give Swinarski a short leash. Gentry and Elliott would be on the hot seat. There are rumors that Andrew Mahoney is off the team. I would probably cut either Aaron Dominguez or Paxton Stover- probably Dominguez.

We're going to see a LOT of new faces next year. I think our class is like at 19 right now?
