[QUOTE="78pike, post: 776730, member: 4030"] I don't think there is anyway Parada doesn't start at C from the beginning. Just too much talent not too. When you are being compared to some of Tech's all time greats at the position by the head coach I think that says a lot. I also think that Jackson won the starting 2B position last year and unless he has regressed he starts. Wilhite has proven himself a very dependable reliever and I believe that will be his role this year. I have a hard time with a projected lineup that doesn't have Compton starting. I think he proved himself more than worthy to remain in the lineup. I understand the defensive capabilities of a Malloy at 3B but I don't see CDH not going with a proven bat there unless Compton is far below average on defense. Though I could see him at either DH or 1B, I just don't see him riding the pine or even splitting time. With regard to Maxwell, if he can overcome just a portion of his control issues I don't see him not starting. If not on the weekend, then at least midweek. An arm like his doesn't come along very often and his size on the mound is just so intimidating. Also, there is something to be said about a little bit of wildness not necessarily being a bad thing when you are bringing it between 98 and 100. Not many guys are willing to dig in. Reminds me of that guy from the Phillies (forgot his name - later became an announcer) who just bailed out every at bat against Randy Johnson in the AllStar game. I think he said it wasn't worth risking his career over a few at bats. Grissom also sounds like a rare talent who will see a lot of the mound. I wouldn't be surprised to see him take some innings from one or more of the more seasoned returning pitchers. It's a nice problem to have. I think one think CDH has shown over the last couple of years is that he is not afraid to put the most talented players on the field despite their lack of experience. I think maybe he was guilty in the past of showing excessive loyalty to returning players at the expense of the talent on the bench. Not so much anymore. I think some of that can be credited to the talent he now has on his coaching staff that is not afraid to voice their opinions along with the head coach's willingness to listen. [/QUOTE]
