December 22, 20214 yr There is some turnover but Texas is actually returning a ton. Corona, Parker, Iakopo, Whitaker, Burke and Jefferson were all starting at the end of the year. JJ Smith was also starting a lot of games at 1B to end the year. Then you have the ace from last year's staff returning in O'Leary. 6 to 7 position starters and top pitcher returning.

SS, C, corner OF and 2B. Whitaker is too slow to play the OF. Someone like Gilbert is perfectly slated to grab that CF spot. I could see something like: C Iakopo 1B Smith (if fully healed) 2B Jefferson 3B Scott or Corona SS Parker OF Gilbert OF Burke OF Holmes DH Whitaker Scott and Holmes are too talented to keep off the field, for now, compared to the rest of our roster. And Martinez and Goode come in next year. Edited December 22, 20214 yr by Js1
December 22, 20214 yr And from what I've read, Gilbert and the Arizona transfer should both be eligible in 2022, along with Dolcini.
December 22, 20214 yr Providing she is fully recovered from injury, Popelka should definitely contribute. Doesn't have the HR power that MW covets, but hit .375 in 27 games with 13/14 SB's "Speed never has a bad day"...Gus

December 29, 20213 yr As fucking horrific as our defense has been, Corona stays at 3B, she can hit 9th.

I don't think people realize how good of an addition Gilbert was. She can really hit. The top of the order with Jefferson, Burke and Gilbert is going to be scary good.
July 14, 20223 yr USA vs Japan in the gold medal game for World Cup, on CBS Sports. Bottom of the second with two outs, bases loaded, 0-0. Janae Jefferson hits a bases clearing double to give USA a 3-0 lead. Tune in! Thanks to another poster.
