I already stated D. Wenzel would help the team right now as a catcher, eventhough I think his true position is as an outfielder. If you want my lineup, here goes:
C - D. Wenzel
P -
1b - Frasse -is he playing?
2b - Hausuaer
SS - Wentz
3rd - Geinert
LF - C. Wenzel
CF - Geshellchen - needs to hit, otherwise all the defense in CF deosn't matter.
RF - I guess Schlosser, no one else sticks in my mind
This is your best defensive lineup. When Wentz pitches, I would move Geinert to SS, Hausuaer to 3rd, and bring in your next best infielder, unless there is someone other than the two mentioned who can handle the 3rd base position, I am not aware of any. I hear rumors that the Kendall kid is loved by the coach, I've never seen him, I hear he is small and not very strong yet. I now see our lineup is not much different, I just have a hard time automatically placing sophomores in starting roles, especially prior to the season starting. I also understand that there really is no true true starting lineup, it depends upon who is pitching, hurt, is struggling at the plate, defensively, etc. I guess it will all work out in the wash.
