Second Baseman
The lifelong Charlotte Knight will roam in between 1st and 2nd base once again. Jonathan Schoop will be the starter everyday once again, coming off of one of his best seasons yet. Not much is asked of him, but he is a steady contributor with good defense up the middle. His veteran presence is needed in this locker room, and his knowledge of Charlotte is extremely helpful, as he helps incoming teammates adjust to the area.
Very impressed with the poise of GM Matt Wells to acquire young talents in the midst of a pennant race. The Knights look to have a well-rounded squad heading into spring training. Looking forward to potentially seeing Machamer come September, what a performance he is showing in Winter League. My prediction for the Knights is a guaranteed play off spot come 2020, with a heated division battle with TC.
Well done, Matt! Love the preview! Your rotation this year is looking like our rotation 2 seasons ago! I would like to see how these former “Dawgs” do in CHR. Also, your line up looks good, though the obvious question mark is at 3B. I went with a defensive 3B this year as well, so I don’t mind seeing a rookie there at 3B for CHR either. Hopefully he pans out, eeehhh I still hate CHR! #LoveLivePandas
