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

Those last six cuts are going to be tough.... hate it but I guess this is how college baseball is going to work moving forward

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.
