Trent has verfied he is coming back and he pitched the game we beat dat arse.

We return 1B, RF, & SS from the field, but we rotated out Woodman and Jamison in RF depending on pitching matchups, so you can look at it like we are returing two outfielders because both have plus gloves. We lost our 2B, but in complete objectiveness, this is addition by subtraction. Bianco was asked every week if he considered taking Overby out because his bat blew and was a liability at 2B. In fact in every close game, Bianco took him out. We lost our catcher, but return the kid who was brick wall during the CWS when Allen got hurt. He was the better defensive catcher all year, but Allen's bat was too strong to start Knight.

The Bullpen more than likely took a hit but we arent sure yet. The only for sure arm that is gone is Greenwood who was our most reliable closer. Not a dominate kid, but threw strikes and was good enough to close out games and could go 3-4 innings deep. Laxer is a junior and he has the best stuff out of the bullpen, but has not said if he is gone or not. Got drafted fairly late. Weathersby was our best reliever and is RSJr, but some say he is leaving for med school, while others say hes going to med school after this year. If we lose all three then yes, our bullpen takes a hit losing 3 of our 4 best bullpen arms. Its not like we do not have experienced replacements ready to roll though. This time last year, all three of those pitchers were not regarded as good relievers.
