1924 Opening Day

Our team page can be accessed HERE.

This is how we'll line up on OD:

Catchers
  • C Frank Snyder (R)
  • Zack Taylor (R) v LHP and when Snyder needs a rest

Infielders
  • 1B Rube Bressler (R)
  • 2B Pie Traynor (R)
  • 3B Oliver Marcell (R)
  • SS Dick Lundy (R) / Newt Allen (R) platoon
  • Heinie Mueller (L)
  • Dobie Moore (R) will be our everyday SS on his return from the IL
  • Wally Gerber (R)

Not exactly where we want our IF group to be, but hopefully they can turn things around from an ordinary 1923. Mueller seems to have slipped and so Bressler takes 1B back.

Outfielders
  • LF Ken Williams (L)
  • CF Oscar Charleston (L)
  • RF Ty Cobb (L)
  • Carson Bigbee (L)
  • Smoky Joe Wood (R)
  • Les Mann (R)

Charleston has been working super hard over the offseason. He knows he needs to be better this year. Age-related regression from Cobb and Williams of some concern.

Rotation
  1. LHP Dave Brown
  2. LHP Sam Streeter
  3. RHP Webster McDonald
  4. LHP Wilbur Cooper

If Brown performs as we know he can then we’ll be in good shape here.

Bullpen
  • LHP Garland Braxton
  • RHP Ralph Comstock
  • RHP Juanelo Mirabal
  • RHP Reggie Richter
  • RHP Smoky Joe Wood

Our rock last year. Expecting the same again.

Do I think we'll rebound from the nightmare of '23? Yes. Do I think we've got the team to compete with the Cards, Robins or even the Phillies, who have made an aggressive push over the offseason to be competitive? A lot will have to go right. If we can get back into the top division and go better than 500 I'll consider it a win.
