Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4537087, member: 2504"] Listening to this interview reinforces the notion that there is a lot of depth with the position players on this team. A quick summery from my first quick listen to this interview, I'm sure there is more to glean from repeated listens. Catchers: Matt Garbowski has recovered from his injuries from last season, and that is a big thing. They like his bat (he hit well last season despite his injuries) and his defense. Sounds like the number 1 guy behind the plate. Ryan Hyde is a leader, he has made himself into a good player. Sounds like he is currently the chief back up to Garbowski. Levi McAllister is new to the team as a freshman, but he is a player with potential. Infield Three returning starters in the infield, Huber, Smith, and Padilla. As for Padilla, a hard worker, and they expect big things from him this season, basically building upon what he did last season. Dominic Freeberger can play anywhere, including catcher in a pinch. They love his bat, sounds like the leader at 3B for now. With his flexibility, could end up playing elsewhere if needed. Luke Broadhurst can play the corners on the infield. Love his offense. Very talented, he adds nice maturity to the lineup. I suspect he is the leader for playing time at D.H. at this point, but there are plenty of options at that spot. Chris Brown, he has had success at 3B in the past. No mention of how he is currently doing. Paul Tammaro is an outstanding defensive player, can play anywhere in the infield. His bat doesn't sound bad either. Suspect he is the first guy off the bench to fill in at the middle infield spots. Ryan Daniels - They say he is a weapon offensively, another guy who can play anywhere in the infield. Sound very high on him. Maddix Dalena - They love his offense, he has shown good power and a mature bat. He could spell Huber at 1B on occasion, possibly get time at D.H. as well. Still, there is just so much playing time to go around on this team. Juliano and Sorensen both got some positive words about them, but as for playing time, we'll see. Outfield: Morton and Simmons are returning starters, obviously much is expected of them. Sounds like the battle for the final outfield spot between Studley and Brini may still be on. The expectations for a terrific defensive outfield sound very high with either of them playing along side Morton and Simmons. Drew Kron - The comments here about him mirror pretty much from what I have said about watching play in Norwich last summer, he is fun to watch play the outfield. His bat has shown flashes so far, someone to watch for the future. Nice comment on Greger, called him a hard worker. Definitely recommend listening to this interview. [/QUOTE]
