IF no additions via trade/free agency and IF NADO & Donny are indeed dealt, then it's going to look like this:

WillyC - 1B (Bumbles backup)
JJW - 2B
Winn - SS
Gorman - 3B

Saggese/Fermin - SUP

Hererra/Crooks - C (not my idea, just what we're hearing when it comes to Hererra catching)

Burleson - LF
Scott - CF
Noot - RF (when healthy)

Church - 4th OFer

Herrera/Burleson/WillyC - DH

*Walker at Memphis

Even for bored superfans who love to nerd out on this stuff, there is n way to approximate an opening day lineup with all the turnover that is expected. We know who is here, have ideas about who may stay, but haven't a clue about who is coming in.

My guess is:

Nootbaar - RF (if healthy)
Wetherholt- 2b
Herrera- DH
Contreras- 1b
Burleson- LF
Winn - SS
Gorman- 3b
Pages/Crooks - C
Scott - CF

This suggests Rock’s boner does little or nothing over the winter….

Going to be a long season….

I just went with current players (minus Donovan). I think there will be trades. Just not sure who will be involved. I also think Bloom will seek a SP for Donovan.
