HERE. Here’s the annual summary.
A fair turnover in the offseason and some moves inside the playing group as well means our Opening Day lineups will look like this:
Catchers- C Frank Snyder (R)
- Bob O’Farrell (R) v LHP and when Snyder needs a rest
Both were huge last year and the platoon seems to work well despite them both being RHB.
Infielders- 1B Rube Bressler (R)
- 2B Pie Traynor (R)
- 3B Oliver Marcell (R)
- SS Dick Lundy (S)
- Frank Baker (L)
- Zeb Terry (R)
- Wally Gerber (R)
- Bernie Friberg (R)
Bressler impressed in ST and I just prefer this makeup both defensively and with regard to splits. Lundy struggled in ST and I'll be keeping an eye on him.
Outfielders- LF Ken Williams (L)
- CF Oscar Charleston (L)
- RF Ty Cobb (L)
- Heinie Mueller (L)
- Carson Bigbee (L)
- Smoky Joe Wood (R)
As sensational a rookie season as he had, I’m taking nothing for granted with Mueller, who’ll have to earn that spot back this season.
Rotation- LHP Sam Streeter
- LHP Jose Leblanc
- RHP Walter Johnson
- LHP Wilbur Cooper
Undoubtedly an eye to the future here. Wilbur gets first crack at SP4 while McDonald finds his feet at AAA. How quickly he is called up is still undecided.
Bullpen- RHP Garland Braxton
- RHP Ralph Comstock
- LHP Dutch Reuther
- RHP Reggie Richter
- RHP Smoky Joe Wood
Braxton projects well but is still raw and will be carefully scripted.
