Thanks for putting this together

I think the real wildcards on the roster are Callaspo and Grenkie. Both could led the team in categories, or make no impact whatsoever.

Rock Chalk Talk for pretty good KU baseball coverage

I was surprised by the Callaspo love

I really like this kid too, but he has little major league track record and even if he'll eventually become good, I don't know if he's going to show that quite yet. And he won't likely get a full season of regular playing time. Apparently he isn't even the #2 pinch runner.

I probably disagree with you.
