Notes:
If Luke Heyman gets here I expect him to start at catcher but I'm leaving Lastres there until we know more about his recovery.
You can see we have somewhat of a hole in backup infielders. Look for us to add 1-2 in the portal or late JuCo.
Everything I've read on Tejeda sounds great and makes me think he has a shot at starting this year. If not I'd like to see Robertson playing in left.
Does Langford move from LF to CF? I think he would be great covering all that space so sure let's see him take Jud's acre of land.
One predicament we have Caglianone, Isaac, and Moran all throw and bat LH all going to try and play 1B. Isaac sounds like a high level hitter like Cags so where else could one of them play other than Cags on the mound? My guess Cags starts at first when he is not pitching and Isaac covers first when Cags is on the mound.
