Here are some quick thoughts on the roster:

  • Three younger guys in the rotation mixed in with the veterans Francis and Wang should make for a solid rotation.
  • Josh Smith is making the move to the bullpen. He looked very good out of the bullpen the year he was drafted and spent his first professional season there.
  • The infield has a ton of versatility as everyone can play multiple positions.
  • The outfield should be pretty good. Mike Wilson brings a bunch of power to the table. Thomas Neal and Felix Perez both have .300 average seasons in the past at the level. Ryan LaMarre looks to build on the .281 that he hit in the second half of last season.
