As always,
HERE is our team page for those inclined to fully immerse. For the rest, a summary.
A lot of new faces, so one of the keys here will be how quickly and how well they gel.
Catchers- Roger Bresnahan (R)
- Les Nunamaker (R)
In the end, Les just looks more ready to compete at this level than Mike Gonzalez does.
Infielders- 1B Danny Murphy (R)
- 2B Nap Lajoie (R)
- 3B Buck Herzog (R)
- SS Honus Wagner (R)
- Alex McCarthy (R)
- Red Killefer (R)
- John Henry Lloyd (L)
- Scotty Ingerton (R)
- Hans Lobert (R)
We will have to see if the defensive liability outweighs the offensive asset for Murph; he’ll definitely be getting yanked out late in close games.
Outfielders- LF Max Carey (S)
- CF Vin Campbell (L)
- RF Zaza Harvey (L)
- Rip Cannell (L)
- Armando Marsans (R)
Armando will man CF v LHP. Killefer can also play all three OF slots, and Ingerton LF.
Rotation- RHP Christy Mathewson
- RHP Russ Ford
- RHP Babe Adams
- RHP Rube Vickers
Bullpen- RHP Howie Camnitz
- RHP King Cole
- RHP Louis Drucke
It almost goes without saying that expectations are high for this group.
