I’m sure this has already been covered, and I may have missed it, but who do you guys see as being our 3 weekend guys next year? Dollander, Halverson, and Burns maybe? I couldn’t remember off hand how many new arms we have coming in either.
Good point on Halverson. Wonder if Zander will stick with the mid week role or if we could see him some on the weekends. Not necessarily as a starter, but maybe as a reliever. He looked really good as the mid week guy this year.My money is on Dollander, Burns, and Beam. I think Halvorsen will be a bullpen arm until he is rehabed from his injury. Doubt he becomes a starter next year. Only if one of these starters falter, and he shows his arm will hold up to a starter's grind.

Yes they brought him in against Florida in the championship game and had a rough outing. They didn’t keep him in for very long, but Florida got some hits off of him. I like him in that mid week role myself.I think - without inside information, just casual observation - it will be difficult for Zander to make it into the weekend rotation or the bullpen unless he improves dramatically. He's a soft tossing lefty, and is redundant to Kirby and maybe one other in front of him. But he is a valuable depth piece in case of injury.
I don’t want to discount him but I don’t see Mabrey going high enough to justify leaving. I get he loses leverage but in a 20 round draft he can’t fall much lower after his SR year so is the slot money that much worse a year later? If he’s in the bottom 1/4, which I would think he is (maybe way off) then he’s either going to improve his stock or be a bottom 1/4 guy again.We need one, or two, of the high end guys to be the closer.
Losing Redmond, Swell, Blade, Will M, Mark M, Ben Joyce..........lots of room for more pitching.
I think Zander will be a mid inning weekend guy. Can't throw Kirby every night. Wyatt will also be good help from the left side.
Some of the new guys will be the weekday game pitchers.
Y’all keep forgetting the JUCO pitchers that are committed.We need one, or two, of the high end guys to be the closer.

I think this guess is as good as any right now.We need one, or two, of the high end guys to be the closer.

From another thread but @preacherman20 said 94-98, in peak form. Number of quality pitches. May need time as he is returning from a period where he shut his training down.How hard does he throw?
