While we all wait for the bracket tomorrow, who follows recruiting and the draft?

In 2018, Frogs need to replace the following starters:
C (Skoug probably gone/draft)
2B (Warner graduated)
SS (Merrill and Hesse graduated)
3B (Barzilli graduated)
CF (Brown graduated, Williams graduated)
Howard/Traver (Janczak is draft eligible, too, IIRC)

Humphreys looking like the next man behind the plate
Wade probably slides to CF / Ingraham to RF? Or CW in RF with ML sharing 1st with Baker?
No clue where we are with the infielders. Franson at 3b?
Looks like we have several freshman inf coming in - https://www.perfectgame.org/Rankings/Recruiting/CollegeCommits.aspx?ID=1742&g=2017
Does Shane Baz project as a starter? Looks like he will probably end up in FW, though it may be a close call -- he wants college but could be drafted pretty high http://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/2/23/14697056/shane-baz-scouting-report-2017-mlb-draft

I suspect that our lineup next year will include some players we haven't even heard about yet from the juco ranks Also, we'll have to grab another catcher even if Humphreys is the man behind the plate. As for CW in RF....only if he is forced to catch 400 fly balls a day from a right handed batter and 500 a day from a left-handed batter. Personally, I don't think he has anywhere near the arm needed to play RF.

Saw Russell Smith pitch at Midlothian. He was good.

Don't forget there is a shortstop Adam Oviedo coming in from Alvarado.

He was defending you. Your voice is missed here.


I was saying that with a chuckle/ruefulness

This season has been...complicated. mostly following via twitter. Can't keep getting mad at the app/my tv has been mostly uncooperative among working later and many other variables :/
