I think it’s safe to say that Ortega and Stephenson are gone man. Lawson is 50/50 at this point on being back or not.Decent chance Im completely wrong here. Random guess by me:
C - Taylor (he does the off-season work to get there)
1b - Burke
2b - Ortega/Lawson
SS - Ahuna
3B - Lawson/Ortega
LF - Moore/Dickey
CF - Stephenson
RF - Dickey/Moore
DH - Steenstra
Obviously, there could be transfers we don’t know about yet or a freshman that comes in and lights it up.
If Chuck Taylor is the hard worker that Tony says he is I could see him being a nice contributor for us next year. Really excited for that Ahuna kid too. Moore is going to be a stud. I don’t think we hit 150 dongs but we should still have an explosive offense.Decent chance Im completely wrong here. Random guess by me:

Hitting might not be as good, but I think the pitching will be better.If Chuck Taylor is the hard worker that Tony says he is I could see him being a nice contributor for us next year.

With Dickey being listed as a backup catcher, I've kind of wondered if there's any chance we see him take the Russell route and work behind the plate next season?

Don’t count out the 4 JUCO arms coming in. I wouldn’t be surprised to see at least one of them get meaningful innings.
GBO!!
Question on Steenstra: nothing to be worried about there (that you know of), right? I think he is soooo good, especially defensively. Smoothest defensive player we have, IMO. I just really don’t want him to get frustrated and transfer out.Covid year left. I’m told he’ll likely use it.
That’s fair, I think scouts see a .339 BA with 25 bags (6.2 60) and someone will bite. Selfishly, I hope not though, I think he’s the outfield leader we’ll need.I actually think there’s a much better chance that Stevenson is back than Lawson. The draft is only 20 rounds. I don’t see Stevenson getting selected.
