Some things I noticed:
Callahan Brown - a big RHP by way of Mississippi State. Redshirt Fresh
Blake Davey - looks like a big Jr College transfer 6'3" 225 and plays INF and Catcher.
Testani listed as an Infielder and not Outfielder. Interesting since we seem to be deeper in the Infield.
Only guy not on roster expected to see was Jed Robinson. Seem to be very solid however in pitching. We know weekend rotation is set then when you can put Ward in midweek games with Colletti, very deep. Lot of freshmen arms. I imagine some RS's because of depth this year.
One that stood out was Ruotolo with build of 5'11" 240. Sounds like a possible closer? Power Arm maybe
I just got a look at the roster for the first time just before writing this. Testani is now listed as both Infielder and Outfielder, so they must have done a quick update.
I found a small article on Blake Davey from a California newspaper announcing that he was going to UConn, saying he was primarily a DH in Junior College. By the way, I find it a bit amusing to have two catchers on the club with last names of Davey and David. That ought to keep WHUS baseball announcer Chris Jones on his toes.
With the exception of the starting pitching, which has a great amount of both quality and experience, I am struck by how young this team is. After David Mahaney, the relief corps is going to have a lot of innings going to the newcomers. The starting lineup has only three returning upper class men back in Verdi, Testani, and Yavarone, and I'm inclined to think of those three, Verdi is the only one with a real firm grasp of being a starter on opening day. This recruiting class has a lot of potential, and the Huskies are going to need several of these players to do well for this to be a successful season.
