With so many players coming and going, it is a fool's errand to predict who will be on the field five months from now, so I will try. Virginia has a lot of depth with returning pitchers, transfers in, and first years, This makes determining who will be on the mound in February especially problematic. I believe that Blanco, Woolfolk, and Augustin will be the weekend starters with two first years, Kirk and Valicius as mid-week starters. Kamshror and Moore might well get the first shot as closer. That leaves Barker, Bassett, Jaxel, Koenen, Lanzendorfer, Oschell, and Osinski to contend for time as relief pitchers. Hodges and O'Connor are recovering from injuries but should add to the mix in the spring. Ference returns as catcher and will be backed up by Wells. Perotta returns at first base but will be challenged by Arroyo. Hanson and Becker will likely be at second and third with Godbout at short. Sirois and Harris are backups. Ford will play in right field with Didawick and Teel , backed up by Buchanan and Nunnallee, joining Ford in the outfield.
