Thoughts about the fall thus far ... just random observations.
1) It appears they are heading toward a potential lineup of
Trenkle CF
Brown SS
McClean 3B
Doersching 1B
Mendham DH
Thompson LF
Miller-Green/Bay RF
Adkison C
Morrill 2B
a. Morrill makes the middle infield much better than the other candidates at this point, but has struggled offensively. I'd rather see him early and bring the young kids along over the season and see how it progresses.
b. Worried about Brown's arm strength from SS but has improved over the fall. Love his energy and offensive potential ... I think he can do it.
c. I think LF and RF are the biggest questions at this point positionally. Bay, Martin, Miller-Green, Thompson, Brown, etc all in the running based on who gives us the most offensively. Can sub defensively in late innings as needed.
d. Adkison seems to be the catcher. Daughtery definitely spells him at times and solid offensive potential.
e. Bay, Martin, Miller-Green, and Brown right- handed DH options to counter left-handed Mendham if they don't win LF/RF job.
2. As our pitching goes ........ so goes our season. It is the entire KEY. Not a novel concept, I know. Maybe several transfers can bring new life to the staff.
Weekend rotation
a. Campbell
b. Mederos
c. Marsh (Kentucky transfer, great outing Saturday in intersquad)
I have not personally seen Mederos just basing it on hearsay (yes, just speculation)
Phansalker, Davis, Ramsey, etc. Need strong years.
Trevor Martin needs to be dominate in closer role now that it is his role to take over.
No inside information, I'm not a know-it-all .... just excited for the season. Thats my take.
