Anyone wanna take a crack at the lineup and rotation? Long ways to go and never know what’ll happen but it’s always fun to put together a potential squad.

4. Macon Winslow - 2
5. Cooper Nicholson - 5
6. Eric Paulson - 3
7. Michael McGinnis - 9
8. Sawyer Black - 8
9. Rom Kellis IV - DH - this will rotate a ton
I think this is where the lineup falls into place, not where it starts.
gives you plenty R/L matchups and speed and power with Schaffner setting the table.
the pitching staff has a chance to be absolutely if the rotation is as good as I think it will be and we stay healthy. We really missed Matty last year when he went out. A ton of potential with this team.
Don't forget about Cam Seagraves. In addition, Amos Rich could be a wildcard, joining the team next month straight out of HS. PG gave him a perfect score of 10, and says his fastball already gets up to 93. He threw a perfect game in the 17U WWBA (world wood bat association) tournament last summer, pitching for the DIrtbags.
Here’s my crack at opening day lineup
1. Jake Schaffner - 6
2. Owen Hull - 8
3. Gavin Gallaher - 4
4. Eric Paulson - 3
5. Macon Winslow - 2
6. Cooper Nicholson - 5
7. Sawyer Black - 9
8. Perry Hargett - DH
9. Carter French - 7
Kellis, Maginnis and Sowers also being given frequent opportunities to earn spots with early playing time.
Weekend rotation: DeCaro, Lynch, Boaz
Key bullpen arms: McDuffie, Matthijs, Seagraves
Anything we get from true freshmen beyond the above is a bonus!

Yeah just missed Seagraves should be back and forth between the backend and MR. And the Amos kid is interesting, probably slots in around MR as well. The staff is very talented and deep. Our top 4 arms last year rivaled anyone in the country. But, just not a ton of developed depth but that should change this year.
I definitely agree with this on opening day maybe minus Perry. But, best case scenario is Perry putting all the tools he has together and taking over LF. Carter did a lot for us last year, but we really need some pop from the corner OF spots. But, I agree he probably gets the opening day nod.
Agree wholeheartedly. Ideally someone can take that spot from him as you said. But he’s earned the right to be the guy that has to have it taken from him.
The issue with French is extra base hits. Zero last year. Need a player who brings the wood in the corner outfield.
He had a bases clearing triple into the RCF gap in the final game of the FWS.
Yep, I agree. As noted above, my prediction was for what I think the Opening Day lineup will be. Not necessarily the lineup at the end of the season. Guys will be given an opportunity to unseat him. Up to them if they’re able to do it or not.
