This is a more focused thread to discuss who we have, what the IF looks like, and what we might expect, pros and cons. Please, no trade-speculationor/Shadow-GMing. Plenty of threads for that.
We already have a 2023 OF thread: https://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/2023-outfield.38433/ However the Trevor Story injury impacts what's going on there.
Of the 26 man roster, 13 max are pitchers, so that leaves 13 slots. The players below are on the 40 man as of today (with the exception of Duval?)
C - McGuire
1B - Casas
2B - Arroyo (Mondesi)
SS - Hernandez (Mondesi/Arroyo)
3B - Devers (Turner)
UT - Mondesi
RF - Verdugo
CF - Duval (Hernandez)
LF - Yoshida
4th OF - Refsnyder?
DH - Turner (Yoshida)
That's 11 bold names. Who else goes where? And why?
One has to be a catcher - but who do you select, and who do you select for the final piece?
Others:
C: Alfaro (MiL deal)/Wong (option)
1B/3B: Dalbec (option)
OF: Tapia (MiL deal)
SS/2B: Story (injured, perhaps back ASB)
Everything: Rafaela (perhaps ready later in season)
Arguably CF: Duran
2B: Hamilton
2B: Valdez
