Shortstop
Star utility man Arismendy Alcantara and newly acquired Gavin Cecchini will platoon, and the other one will be the utility infielder when not starting. Just 28 and 26 years of age, neither has ever been a full-time starter, but will both get their chances to win the job full-time, if they play well enough. Both are well liked in the clubhouse, and Alcantara is a fan favorite since his acquisition from Syracuse.
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
