C Mitchell Goater
The soon to be 22 year old will look to take the starting job full time after some improvements to his defense over the offseason. He has some mighty big footsteps to fill with Davenport Hinkle gone. Can he do it?
1B Sam Corkum
With the departure of Rodriguez, Corkum will get his first shot of holding the full-time first base slot. The 22 year old has somewhat struggled in his backup role the last two years but his ratings have improved so I expect him to make so much needed strides this season. We'll see what happens.
2B Fadeuka Hadonov
Hadonov will make his starting debut this season. He's a replaceable player but should be fine in the second base spot defesnvily, just don't expect any homeruns...
SS Oskar Lojdahl
The patience may finally pay off as Lojdahl finally netted a positive war season last year. With a boost to his range he will now take the vacant shortstop spot left by Trewartha.
3B Javier Valles
Valles had a pretty decent season mostly from the DH spot, now him and his 10 arm will hold the third base spot for the Mounties. Hopefully he'll turn out to be one of those underrated 45 overall third basemen.
LF Greg Clover
Arguably the best player on the team the last two years, Clover looks to continue his impressive Mounties career. He got a defsnive bump before the season as well so maybe a Zimmer award could be in his future.
CF Miguel Montero
A great year in right field will have Montero slide over to the center field spot. Whilst he should hold it down defensively well enough, it's a bit of a risky move.
RF Zhi Li
Just acquired from Calgary, Zhi Li should be a welcome addition both offensively and defensively for the Mounties. Plus he's only 24 years old!
DH Royce Hinkle
Vancouver had the great Davenport Hinkle for over a decade, now this young Hinkle will look to continue carrying that last name. While their were hopes this offseason he could attempt to play outfield, his defense just isn't ready, but his bat looks like it is.
