Here's what I think will happen in 2020:

Beck, Williams and Palisch starting. Jensen or Weiermiller closing. Grech definitely coming back. Expended roles for Rudd and Lopez, maybe something from Worley or Sleeper.

Infield will have Bellafronto at third and Brueser at first, Dieter or a freshman at short and either Kretzch or Dieter at second. Brueser is an elite defender.

Molfetta and Oar are both coming back. Molfetta will get first crack at starting catcher but Martinez and a freshman might have a say.

Oar will get first shot at DH but it might be Robinson.

Why Robinson? Because the only OF position he feels comfortable playing is CF and Tawa is elite in that position. It's time to return him to his recruited position and watch what he can do. If Robinson can figure out the corners, he gets one and Gargus, a power hitting machine, takes the other, with Burton also in the mix.

It's going to be a different team. It doesn't feel like a Super Regional team at this point, but we're still eight months from the start of the season, so who knows?

Here's what the batting order should look like:

1. Kretzch
2. Dieter
3. Tawa
4. Brueser
5. Robinson
6. Bellafronto
7. Gargus
8. Oar
9. Molfetta
