Looks like an embarrassment of riches, which is not a bad situation to be in.
If Wert is coming back she obviously starts at 3B. Laird is having an all SEC type season as a freshman and will start all 4 years here. Bailey has another year at 2B, then Raabe/Frizell fight over 1B.
Then we bring in Missouri kids Crenshaw and Daly, two of the most highly touted freshmen in Mizzou history. Crenshaw was rated #2 in the nation by one recruiting service, and Daly only turned down offers from Florida, Texas, and VT, among others, to come here. Then there is the Hollingsworth girl from Texas who is another infielder who has tremendous power supposedly.
How do you fit all that talent into 4 positions? Can any of those three freshman play OF? On paper, 2B is the position most likely up for grabs, we just aren’t going to have Daly or Crenshaw sitting on the bench while Bailey starts, despite her recent surge at the plate.
Nice situation to be in but difficult decisions for LA.
