Has Ethan Moore shown something in fall or summer that made you confident enough to put him as the starting 2B?

I would also throw Grimmer in the DH possibility if he’s not going to be starting.

This lineup looks like it’s going to be loaded.

Just a hunch based on what I’ve read. I could also see Abernathy, Antigua, or Newstrom at 2B. Obviously very fluid based on results of Fall Ball

This may have been asked before. Haas having surgery and medically redshirting, will he have to be a DSA? And will he have to be considered part of the 37 man roster?

Not sure if Haas will be considered a DSA or not. The DSA designation was due back on July 7th so I assume he will likely be a medical redshirt unless an exemption was granted by the Magistrate Judge for DSA status. If he’s not a DSA, my understanding is medical redshirts would count against the 34 man roster.

How out of the loop am I ? Coach V's Chattanooga press conference is the first Ive heard Amari Jefferson joined the team.

I took it as CTV was familiar with Baylor since he recruited Jefferson for baseball. I don’t think it ever materialized nor do I think something’s recently changed. I could be mistaken but believe Jefferson stuck to football.
