First Base
Wes Rea, Sr.RS. 6-5 275
It all starts with Rea, position player wise. He is a 5th year senior and a leader. He has had his ups and downs over his career. He plays a stellar 1B. He has been up and down hitting-wise the last 2 seasons (not unlike a lot of players) so we all pull for him having a monster senior season. He should start at 1B the whole year.
Trent Waddell, Jr.Tr. 6-3 210
Since the fall roster has yet to be released, I am assuming Trent will play 1B also. He is a LHP too. Fall will determine where he will play.
Reid Humphreys, So. 6-2 200
Really, one of the big questions this fall is where will Reid play. Is he a 1B or a 3B? Will he be the starting DH in 2015? He should have a huge year at the plate. He needs to be in the lineup every game, question is where.
Dylan Ingram, Fr.RS 6-3 210
A very talented youngster. He had a really good summer hitting the ball. He should come in late in ballgames to gain experience.
Brent Rooker, Fr.RS 6-4 190
Brent will most likely play a lot in the OF in 2015 but I will put him here also. Fall ball will determine where he will play. He has a power bat, lots of AB's in 2015.
Cole Gordon, Fr. 6-6 240
Another player I don't really know where he might play. His bat is explosive. I have him at 1B, OF and RHP. He bats left so he might get some AB's this year.
Third Base
Matthew Britton, Sr. 6-1 190
A seasoned veteran that started out in 2014 at SS but found a home at 3B. Exceptional defensive abilities and cannon for a right arm. If he can hit better, he will be All-SEC. He should be the starter at 3B the whole year.
Matt Spruill, Jr.Tr. 6-1 190
I looked his bio up in JC in Texas and he mostly played 2B but did play 3B late in the year. Don't know if he will be here when the roster is released. His big bro is a MLBer with the Diamondbacks (pitcher). Could be a great find, like Brett Pirtle was. He should be a backup somewhere.
Reid Humphreys, So. 6-2 200
See above.
Luke Reynolds, So.Tr. 6-2 180
Another JC transfer that I think is listed at 3B. He is a pretty good hitter from the left side. He might be a OF when the roster is released. He should get some AB's at DH or late in ballgames.
RECAP: I think Rea and Britton are the starters. Humphreys can play both positions. Ingram is very capable and the future at 1B. Fall ball will teach us a lot about the others.
