so Brandon Cuddy sr and Matt Eureste sr are the two with serious starter minutes from last year that are not on the starting lineup. There are both still on the team, right?

as far as i know, yes. i was surprised to see cuddy not make it, but eureste might not have a position.

I would have guessed grebeck in center, craig-st.louis in left, and cuddy at DH.

Sounds like we have a little field depth which is huge... Hopefully the pitching can stay top notch

Especially in the infield. Kasser and Patzlaff got good minutes for being freshmen last season, so I think they'll also be good options off the bench.

I'm excited to see what Kroon can do for us. Always fun to see some new faces.

so true. take catcher last season: chase was the returning all conference power hitter, graham was a reliable vet off the bench, and susnara was a top prospect that might need to DH to get any at bats. by midseason, chase was slumping so bad we couldn't even play him, graham became an integral part of the pitching staff, and susnara was the everyday catcher. just never know how things will play out. i'm glad we've got some depth.

apparently cuddy is no longer with the program. that might have something to do with it!
