Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3329786, member: 2504"] Biggest news out of this interview is that Justin Willis suffered a fall season ending ACL injury. Sounds like there is a hope that he will be able to pitch in the 2020 season, and possibly be the closer out of the bullpen. We'll have to see about that. Both Casparius and Stock have impressed the coaching staff especially with their fall pitching. Still don't know if either of these guys will be eligible to play in the spring. Sounds like Austin Peterson is not yet on campus, Penders could not talk about him yet. Nick Krauth is drawing comparisons as a Jeffrey Kersten type pitcher. Zach Bushling has impressed Penders with his versatility in the infield, has a Woodworth quality that way. As for returning players, Paul Gozzo is going to be the backup to Pat Winkel behind the plate, but his bat is going to get him more time in the lineup than just being a back up catcher. As you may expect, big expectations for Reggie Crawford at 1B, and possibly on the mound at some point. [/QUOTE]
