Here is how I think our team looks next year.
1B Vincent
2B Overstreet
3B Avant/Cucjen
SS White
C Wass/Haynie
LF Hughston
CF Salem
RF Moore
Friday Kamplain
Saturday Keller
Sunday Bramblett
Midweek Eicholtz
Mid-Relief Shaw/Castillo
Closer Burrows
I think if Moore leaves we might put Hughston in right and let Webb or Blanchard play left. Hopefully Haynie can learn to hit because he is much better behind the plate than Wass. Anybody know who else can play first besides Vincent? I put him there because couldn't think of anybody else who can and he has played it some.

Looks pretty good to me. Only thing I'd say is that I really don't expect Wass back. But as you said Haynie is a very good defensive catcher, hopefully he'll improve some offensively from his freshman year. We also have a couple of catching prospects coming in, hopefully at least one of them will prove to be capable to help share the load some. If nothing else we should be deeper next year, which wouldn't be saying much. I think every starter having to play every game, including the midweek games, probably wore some guys down this season.
Pitching staff has a chance to be really, really good. Bullpen could be dominant if Burrows duplicates his year and Castillo gets back his freshman form now that we won't be screwing around with trying to make him a starter. If Keller is his old self, a weekend rotation of Kamplain-Keller-Bramblett would be one of the best in the league. While I think they'll both be back, I don't think it's a given yet that Kamplain and Keller will both be with the squad though. Eicholtz improving, Guilbeau perhaps turning a corner Sunday, and even Oczypok if he comes back healthy are all guys already on roster who could all provide depth and other starting options. A lot will just depend on the improvement everybody makes, and whether or not anybody takes a step back like Castillo did, but next year's staff could be more dominant than this one was early on.

I'll give it a shot
1. Avant 3b
2. Salem CF
3. Moore- RF
4. Wass-C
5. Hughston- DH
6. White- SS
7. Overstreet- 2B
8. Vincent -1b
9. Howard- LF
Cucjen is the first guy off the bench.
Pitching rotation looks right. Though I the regional is any indication, Guilbeau could make a push for weekend duty.
