I think a lot of the JUCO guys are to as you said fill holes and to also try to get our scholarship numbers straightened out where we won't have a big class and then a small class.
Weekend rotation:
Woodruff, Lindgren, Fitts, Young, and Hudson. Four out of those five candidates were drafted and Fitts was the Alabama pitcher of the year as a junior even though he wasn't drafted out of high school.
Bullpen:
Holder, Bracewell, Ross, Will Cox, Myles Gentry, and now we add Ben Hudspeth and Lucas Laster plus whatever freshmen arms step up.
Cather:
Cody Walker, Daniel Garner, and Gavin Collins. Lot of new faces, but more talent than last year.
1B- Rea. Brent Rooker, Trent Simpson, and Daryl Ingram will give us better depth at this position than last year.
2B- Pirtle with Heck, Hann, and Britton pushing for this position if we play Pirtle at SS.
3B- Probably between Reid Humphries and Kyle Clement. If Gavin Collins or Brent Rooker hit well early- they could find a home here as well.
SS- Pretty much the same group as second base. I could see Pirtle here if he is our best option defensively. I really like Hann and Heck sounds like a good player as well. Reid Humphries will be in the mix as well.
RF- I'd say the new JUCO acquisitions make it more likely than Humphries plays here now. Gavin Collins and Brent Rooker will probably get some looks out here as well.
CF- CT. Just needs to stay healthy and if he does, I think he has his best year here. We have Robson if he gets hurt though.
LF- Demarcus and Robson. Maybe they platoon? Both are quality players. Derrick Armstrong will be a good role player for us as a pinch hitter/pinch runner.
DH- Detz. The new players will allow us to use him where he fits best. If he can improve his defense, it will help us out tremendously because then we can use one of the freshmen here.
