I honestly would not be surprised if Nate Lowe redshirts, but I would also like to have his left-handed bat in the lineup early when the ball seems to fly out to RF. Let he and Rooker man the DH position, depending on pitcher.

Brown, Smith and Swinarski will fight over the corner OF spots. Collins will be out there too if Marrero impresses early, though I don't expect that honestly. Maybe by the end of the year.

Situation works out well, the freshmen gradually get a few at-bats here or there, then after a transition year are ready to jump in and contribute in 2017. We will need them, we could lose up to 7 position players to graduation and the draft next season.
Swinarski will never contribute here. He is as good as gone. Your outfielders next year will be between Smith, Robson, Brown, Collins, Rooker.

1B will either be Hump, Gordon, or Lowe.
