A lot of things that have already been discussed...
- Hallmark and Hakel have the best opportunity to have a Hagge-esque impact as newcomers.
- Reiteration of past struggles to hit for power and win in the postseason.
- Position flexibility:
-- Altavilla: SS/3B
-- Roskam: 1B/3B/C
-- Henwood: INF (will get the first crack at 2B)
-- Hallmark: 2B/SS/3B/OF
-- Alvarado: SP/1B/DH (no mention of SS)
- Fluidity of Palkert's and Matt Waldron's pitching roles.
- "Once-a-weekend" bullpen options to start the year: Hohensee, Tillotson, Frazier, Steinhoff.
- Still trying to figure out who fills the closer role.
- Alvarado, Roskam, and occasionally Schreiber will rotate at 1B.
- Cronenbold will get first shot at SS.
- Klenke in CF, Hagge in LF, Schreiber in RF, Hallmark and Hakel to get opportunities.
- Waldron looks set to be a long-relief man again.
- Abrahamowicz and Max Schreiber will get chances out of the bullpen.
