We loaded up on Waterdogs with Sowers and McArdle. Swapped out Ament, Manny, and Gray. Installing Moore gives some added athleticism and right handed flexibility.
Based on the second half collapse, we needed to break up the Atlas duo and flipped a coin on Rexrode or van Raaphorst. The Duke connection probably gives CVP the nod.
Almost found a home for Jack Hannah and while we expect him to take a massive leap next summer, his shooting efficiency probably isn't dialed up enough in late September 2022. But if he took Bertrand's spot, that's fine.
Bernlohr in for Kelly is a no brainer although Blaze is still the starter.
