With everyone back we are gonna be dangerous I think we can all agree with that but this is how I see it. 2B Bazzana CF MMD 1B Guerra LF Turley 3B Caraway RF Kasper SS Hainline DH Kreig C Weber/Smith I like Kreig over everyone else because he simply gets on base and getting on base scores runs and runs equals wins. A lineup I haven't seen anyone mention for after all three come back is, how about Caraway as the DH? Leave Guerra at 3rd and Krieg at 1st and use Caraway as the DH (primarily). Give Caraway some innings or mid week games at 3rd. Caraway is better defensively at 3B than Guerra imo |

Give Caraway some innings or mid week games at 3rd. Caraway is better defensively at 3B than Guerra imo Caraway has 6 E's in 36 chances for a .824 fielding % Guerra has 7 in 154 chances for .955 Stats aren't the whole story of course. For instance I don't know how many of Guerra's chances were catching throws to 1st versus fielding balls at 3rd. 3rd is a tough position, and to go with the errors, Caraway showed he has the ability to make some really tough plays which maybe Guerra couldn't have made. After several games into the season my thought was, Carawys' potential and upside were well worth leaving him there and hopefully by mid to late season he would show comfort and improvement at the spot and we'd see more of the great plays and fewer of the errors. Now though, he's sat for weeks and no telling what effect that will have on game speed decisions and timing when he comes back. That's my primary basis for thinking he could be effective as DH as he's just a natural hitter, and get worked in the rotation at 3B. |

He’s way more athletic and has a cannon of an arm. Made some stupid errors at the beginning of the season but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt with the pop up that almost hit the top of the dome and I’m guessing that was his first time playing in the elements like that against NDSU. The kids a spark plug much like Bazzana and his energy is infectious. |

He can mash but his defense might limit his draft stock. |

Not sure about krieg better at 1st. He has botched a few lately. And the few, all three of them, are his only blemishes for the season. I think he's also had as many or more DP's he's initiated and finished 3-4-3 / 3-6-3. |

Not sure about krieg better at 1st. He has botched a few lately. Guerra already has four errors at first and three at third. The very first batted ball of the season with May on the mound back in Surprise in February was an error by Guerra. Half of Minnesota's runs in the 6-4 win were scored, because of Guerra's second error. At least three of USC's runs in the 17-4 loss came across, because of Guerra errors. |

According to the official box score and Guerra's official statistics, he had two errors in the 17-4 loss. Bazzana and Guerra each committed at least one error each in that disastrous 10-run fifth. Between the two of them, they accounted for three unearned runs. There seems to be some disconnect between Oregon State's unofficial play-by-play and the box score, though. |

But yup, either way, the only good point is that that game is behind us now. Crush 'furd and just keep winnin'! |

Yeah, just keep winning and USC is one of those pre-Easter bump-in-the-road series losses like USC in 2006, Arizona in 2007, and Utah in 2018. |
