Beck and Russell swapped But I agree on the rest. Lots of depth too.

Chad Dallas or Jackson Leath - Opening Day Starter .

I agree that Dallas or Leath would be Friday/Saturday and I think Spence may play short due to fielding and Ortega DH or Ortega at 2nd and Max OF or DH. I do not think you will see the same lineup every day and there could be 3/4 guys rotating into the starting lineup in fielding positions. Very few to no fielders have positions locked up without strong competition on their heels. It will be interesting to see how they figure out hitters versus fielders. There is also great competition in the pitching ranks for starters, middle relievers, and closers. Some guys definitely moved up this fall and some moved down and there were some new guys who earned a right to see the field. Now how do you put a uniform on all those guys. (Just wanted to open the door for Bruin). I'm sure there are only so many uniforms available this year with all the guys who came back, were there, and came in. It will be interesting.
