What have you got? I'll start us off.
1. Grahovac(1B)
2. Sorrell(RF)
3. Hacopian(SS)
4. Duer(DH)
5. Harrison(C)
6. Partida(3B)
7. Wilson(LF)
8. Kellner(2B)
9. Kiel(CF)

1. Hacopian (SS)
2. Sorrell (CF)
3. Grahovac (1B)
4. Duer (DH)
5. Partida (3B)
6. Harrison (C)
7. Wilson (LF)
8. Kellner (2B)
9. Kiel (RF)

Fri - Moss
Sat - Sdao
Sun - Sims (for now)

Think GG having a little more thump in his bat would put him in the 3 hole but I would absolutely entertain swapping GG & Sorrell 2-3 as well

I am going with

1. Grahovac (1B)
2. Sorrell (CF)
3. Hacopian (SS)
4. Harrison (C)
5. Jordan (DH)
6. Partida (3B)
7. Duer (LF)
8. Kellner (2B)
9. Kiel (RF)

Royo will be in the starting lineup.

Sounds like the frosh Kellner is saying something about that

I'd think Jordan will be in the lineup as well.

1. Kiel (CF)
2. Haco (SS)
3. Sorrell (RF)
4. GG (1B)
5. Bear (C)
6. Duer (LF)
7. Partida (3B)
8. Jordan (DH)
9. Royo (2B)

*ETA: I think Kellner will get early looks, maybe even a start at 2B in the first series.

My opening day roster guess:

1. Chris Hacopian R SS
2. Caden Sorrell L RF
3. Gavin Grahovac R 1B
4. Bear Harrison R C
5. Wesley Jordan R DH
6. Jake Duer L LF
7. Nico Partida R 3B
8. Boston Kellner R 2B
9. Terrence Kiel R CF

Ss Hacopian
RF Sorrell
1B Grahovac
LF duer
CF Kiel
DH Jordan
C Bear
3b partida
2b Royo


Hacopian gets the nod over Grahovac in lead off bc higher on base%.

I think we have to strikeout less this year, get on base, therefore duer and Jordan are in the lineup. These are proven guys who did not transfer here to sit.

I think u gotta push the higher strikeout guys like bear and Royo down in the order.

Royo was great defensively which has also got to improve so he's in the lineup.

Partida sounds like he might be really good even as a freshman but don't want to put too much pressure on him so slide him down in the order.

It starts w the SS question to me. If Hacopian can't handle it, who's next? Royo? Partida? Keller?

Defense has got to be better.

I think we'll see improvement with our infield D with Pennington on board. If Haco struggles, I can see maybe moving Royo to SS, possibly Partida or Kellner if either of them are doing well at the plate. With our pitching, we're going to have to have our best bats in the lineup, even if it means we sacrifice some defensively. I hope I'm wrong with that, but pitching is a major concern of mine.

Guess I missed where GG is moving to 1b

1. Grahovac 1B
2. Sorrell RF
3. Hacopian SS
4. Bear C
5. Partida 3B
6. Duer DH
7. Jorian Wilson LF
8. Kellner 2B
9. TK CF

Fri: Moss Sdao
Sat: Sdao Moss
Sun: Sims

Edited the rotation after reading a Brauny nugget that was posted this evening

Why do so many people think Kiel will bat at the bottom of the lineup? Wasn't he leadoff in most of our games last year?

I think we will toy a bit with the lineup a lot during the first few series

That said

1. Kiel
2. Grahovic
3. Sorrell
4. Hacopian
5. Duer
6. Bear
7. Wilson/ Chesnutt
8. Royo
9. Partida

i feel like
1. Hacopian (SS)
2. Sorrell (CF)
3. Grahovac (1B)
4. Duer (DH)
5. Partida (3B)
6. Harrison (C)
7. Travis (LF)
8. Kellner or Royo (2B)
9. Kiel (RF)

8 R hitters. Can any switch?

Sorrell, Wilson, and Duer are all lefties

I find it amusing that everyone forgot about Sawyer Farr when picking guys to play over Royo. Everyone wants the instant impact freshman and seem to write off the ones that fail to be that. Anyways back on topic:

1-Hacopian R (2B)
2-Sorrell L (CF)
3-Grahovac R (1B)
4-Bear R (C)
5-Duer L (DH)
6-Royo R (SS)
7-Partida R (3B)
8-Wilson L (LF)
9-TK R (RF)

I wasn't going to include Wilson, but we have so many righties I think we ought to give him a shot. If it doesn't work then put Duer in LF and rotate through guys at DH till you find one. Let me live in denial about the error machine not starting at SS until it actually happens.

Couple of things I'm hoping to see:

-Binderup be legitimately useful as a hitter. I think it'd be awesome if he cracks the starting 9 again, but is actually good this time.

-Sorrell playing at a golden spikes level.

-Partida be a legit 2 way player.

-Hacopian not being an error machine.

Just hope this season isn't as miserable as the last because damn I am excited to watch some baseball again.

For what it's worth, none of the 10 people who ventured a guess were correct.
