[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 685920, member: 322"] Danny Hall seems more relaxed than he has been in previous years. Really great interview. A few notes of interest to me: [LIST] [*]Defense - strong across board. [LIST] [*]Turley apparently leading catching position. But Jake Holland is very advanced and similar to Joey Bart in build. (I expect Holland to start a lot by season end. Good problem to have.) [*]Compton very good at first. Webb, Wilhite and Waddell (3Ws has to be a trivia question for Wiley!) will make up a very good in-field. [*]Outfield looks like Colin, Tres Gonzalez, Guldberg and Baron for CF. Concerns about wear and tear on Guldberg. No one can replace Nick though. RF and LF not discussed. Lots of Fr options for outfield too. [/LIST] [*]Batting - lost a lot of power but gained a lot. [LIST] [*]Hall said that there were going to be Fr who get their runs - but hard to know till we see them and some returners will go from 6 to 10 HRs. [*]Talked about bunting more and manufacturing runs (I like this.) Likes to bunt for hits. (I think we have the speed to make it work.) [*]Discussion about whether Luke should lead-off or bat 3rd. Guldberg and Colin high. [*]Baron discussed as to who is going to be behind him to offer some protection. Talked about Baron's being one of the fastest on the team - 6-4 225 lbs - a football player. I'm not sold on Baron cutting down SOs since he didn't do well in Cape Cod last summer with 237 average and 37 SO in 93 at bats. [URL]https://beesball.com/summer2019.html[/URL] I'm obviously missing something given his high expected draft ranking. [*](Didn't say anything about being very selective on pitches. As much as I dislike maker the games loooonnngger, I think a lot of our success last year was running up the opposing pitchers pitch count. Thank you Coach Ramsey!) [/LIST] [*]Pitching - can't answer who's starting or closing except Roedig will be a starter.
