Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4401270, member: 2504"] Guessing from this writeup that Jake Studley may be ahead of Niko Brini at this point of the fall ball season. Both of gotten a goodly amount of playing time in the three games/scrimmages that I have seen, and have to say that from what I have seen that Brini may be a potential future contributor as well. In recent exhibition games Freeberger seems to be anchored into the No. 3 spot in the lineup, so that to me also suggests what the coaching staff seems to think this "Swiss Army knife" type of player. Guessing that Matt Garbowski is currently the leader to be the first string catcher, and I would certainly expect that. Don't know who at this point who will be his primary back up, but in both summer ball and fall ball, I like what I have seen from Ryan Hyde. Still, we'll see how the back up competition goes between Hyde and Levi McAllister. In addition to Ryan Daniels, I kind of like what I have seen from Maddix Dalena, but there is only so much playing time to go around once the spring season starts up. [/QUOTE]
