Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3006558, member: 2504"] I concur. Another possible candidate for getting a midweek starter chance is Joe Simeone. Assuming the plan to move Chase Gardner to the bullpen sticks, the Huskies would need either Simeone or a freshman pitcher for possible starts in the midweek. This gets even more important if Kersten or Dunlop wash out as weekend starters. One interesting thing concerning the pitching staff is that the pitchers who figure to be relied upon most are for the most part either seniors or juniors who very well could be drafted. Juniors figuring to be drafted are Feole and Wallace, one heading the starting rotation and the other being the main cog in the back of the bullpen. Senior Kersten is right now considered the Saturday starter. Seniors Dandeneau and Gardner currently figure to see a lot of key innings out of bullpen. In addition to these guys, it would surprise me if senior Avery Santos gets a good look in relief as well. If this all happens, six out of the seven top pitchers (Dunlop would be the other) would likely not be on the team in 2020 due to graduation or getting drafted. All of which makes it doubly important that some of the other young pitchers on the team have a good showing this season, not only to give some depth to the pitching staff, but to have a hope of having a serviceable Husky pitching staff for the 2020 season. No question the upcoming roster cuts are going to be interesting. [/QUOTE]
