For everybody except Duvall. I really think, given a chance to play everyday, Duvall's bat could help us. Can he play left, or first? If not maybe just DH. I haven't seen enough of his work behind the plate to know how he compares to Scott in terms of defensive skills. Corbs apparently likes Scott better there, so who am I to question?DeefromAtlanta wrote:That's good news.
Yeah. So many guys, only 35 spots. Anyone have any insight?Commodoredave wrote:

I was asking about this on another thread. Who wont be invited back next year that has eligibility? We have 15 true freshman on our team this year. And I think we have 15 new guys coming in next year? That already puts you at 30. Bleday, Fellows, Gillis, Ray, Duvall, etc... are sophomores. Raby, Infante, and Scott coming back as seniors. Admittedly I dont know all the rules in terms of number of players allowed, if you an stash players off roster somehow, etc... but if it is purely a count of 35 guys, I'm not sure how you get there.Commodoredave wrote: We are going to have a really hard time getting down to 35 next year.

Link? Or is this just supposition?BWestbrook wrote:Raby, Infante and some Freshman will not be back giving room for the new class. I would think Paul would be back after only hitting 235 this year, he is a better hitter than 235. Will Day come back?
I listened to one of his podcasts recently. I may have missed the one you are taking about, but he mentioned the roster crunch in what I listened to. I was hoping he'd go into speculation about who he thought wouldnt be back from either our current freshman, soph, or draft eligible guys that didnt get drafted. But the podcast I listened to didnt get to that level. Was talking more about the guys who were drafted and if they'd go to the MLB. I might have missed a more thorough one.Commodoredave wrote:The Chris Lee podcast this week had a good discussion of this.dcdore wrote:Yeah. So many guys, only 35 spots.

You'd have to put Scott in left field since we'll already have Clake as DH. That's what I'm guessing Tim's gonna do, unless there's a different outfielder that's playing really well and Scott stays at catcherCommodoredave wrote:Great to have Scott back, but I agree that Duvall is ready to excel in an expanded role. He has put together some really strong AB's and he is 100% healthy after the TJ two years ago. We need his left handed bat. The MSU defender made a play on a ball Duvall smashed in the corner right after the Paul homer, or we'd still be playing. Duvall also smashed one deep to left center that Mangum ran down in his Friday attempt. This kid can play.

I suspect all 3 of these guys will get good reps, and each will at least get some time behind the plate. Clarke is a draft eligible soph, so they are going to work with him to improve his stock, which means he can't just DH. All 3 of these guys will be drafted at the end of 2019. A completely uninformed opinion is that the primary lineup involves Martin moving to SS, Demarco to CF, and then Scott to LF when it is obvious that Duvall is ready to catch 40 games next year.Matt2309 wrote:You'd have to put Scott in left field since we'll already have Clake as DH.

Good observation. We DO need a shortstop, don't we.Commodoredave wrote:I suspect all 3 of these guys will get good reps, and each will at least get some time behind the plate.
