Hmmm, hard to tell how talented this team was because it was so freakin' young. I will agree that they did lack the firepower of what we're used to at ASU, but their team unity, especially for such a young, inexperienced team was quite remarkable. As far as next year's team - (And I know - Murph will have recruits to compete for every position)
Outfield
Newman
Calhoun
Ruettiger
Workman
Lusardi
MaGee
My guess is Rudy in CF
Newman in RF
Calhoun in LF
Infield
Raoul Torrez
Maggi
McPhee
Ricco Torrez
Abe Ruiz
Zach Wilson
I'm guessing the Torrez boys on the corners and M&M in the middle (Maggi - McPhee)
DH I see Wilson and Ruiz sharing time - in fact, by the start of the season Ruiz may very well be the starting 1st baseman.
Catcher either Barnes or Pollack
Pitching is the interesting aspect. I know there are a couple of kids that didn't go particularly high that we're hoping will come to ASU but from what we have in the stable now....
SP - Ishida RHP
SP - Blair RHP
Sp Swaggerty RHP / Lambson LHP
I think either Lambson or Swaggerty (or both) stay in the pen.
They also have Brule (RHP), Borup (RHP) and Preach (RHP - who I see coming out of the pen as well. And, of course, there's always Newman (LHP).
