1st: Zac Elgie- Minot

2nd: Not sure maybe Hendrickson from BHS or Keller from Mandan

3rd: Dustin Wenzel( if this is where he plays this year) Century, Ben Herauf- Dickinson, Jon Hausauer- BHS

ss: Ryne Horneker- Minot, Cole Frenzel- Dickinson, Wentz

OF: Kory Houston- Minot, Cody Erhardt- St. Mary's, Kyle Schroeder- Dickinson

I am unsure about a few of these but this is good for now

[smart source]

what about anderson at second from minot?

[Ming01]

Oh yeah I forgot about Anderson, he would probably be the best choice for 2B

[Saucesauer]

I am taking Dusty Wenzel at second

[sports-38]

Is Elgie gunna play first this year, or with they use Bollinger there?

[smart source]

probably elgie they are trying to mold bollinger into an outfielder but elgie can also play outfield

[sports-38]

Yeah, he can play anewhere.

[highheat]

for the most part, i agree with whats been said so far about the east.

shs01240, i dont think the entire south outfield should be on that list. sholl is a for sure, lee is up there, but not beauchene. he is a below average hitter and has a far below average arm.

How about Martinson? Will he play besides pitching or possibly DH occasionally? Also where is Anderson going to play - second or third?..And who will play where he doesn't play?

[shs01240]

Beachene may be a stretch.  but its hard to not to put him up ther because he canflat out fly and covers a ton of ground defensively.  even though there is a considerate lack of armstrength.  Matt Lee is on this list for the sole reason of him hittin around .450 through out the whole bomber season.

[highheat]

P: Kreis GFC, Herian FN, Horsager WF, Rude FS, Bergeron FN

C: Sadler RR, Bergeron FN, Nygaard SH

1st: Schmidt WF (if he's healthy), Flacksbarth FN

2nd: Kreis GFC, McDougall (if he pulls his head out of his butt and puts forth some effort)

3rd: Rude FS, Sand SH, Sheets FN

SS: Bombenger FN, Meland RR

OF: Sholl FS, Galbreath RR, Lee FS, Herian FN

DH: Johnson FN, Lick JHS

[NODAKsportsFAN]

What were Sheets' numbers from last year? Why doesn't he play summer ball? Also, if I'm correct, he moved to Fargo from Minot...would he be starting for Minot if he was still there?

[smart source]

for high school sheets would probably start at 3rd...vistas he would not play much

[shs01240]

Sheets probably prefers to enjoy his summers.  in my mind he would be stuck behind rude and sand at third anyways.

 he would be behind rude but not sand. stop being such a homer.

[Honus355]

No one is going to give Jared Quast a shout out over at 3b? He was one of the most consistent last summer over at the hot corner in the West. That man can make the plays.

Looks like North will be the best team in the NATION after all they have studs at every position

[highheat]

how many players does century return from their state tournament birth team last year? dont tell me how wentz is going to come back from a torn acl to save the season, because you dont just come back from an injury like that and produce from the git-go. so without wentz, that leaves erhardt. last time i checked, it takes more than one guy to win games.

there is only one more north player on that list than south players. south will be the best team in the east because theyll hit the ball hard and they have enough pitching depth to hold opponents to a few runs a game. instead of bashing me for putting one more north player than any other team, try contributing to the discussion.

FYI...Erhardt goes to St. Marys.

Speaking of St. Marys...is Bohan the only player they're losing from last season?

Insted of trying to defend yourself you should just stop talking!

#1 Erhardt quite possiably the best outfeilder in the state goes to SMCHS which is Saint Marys Central High School i see no Century in that name

#2 I will not comment on Wentz most of our team knows when he will be ready. Thats all that matters

#3CHS returns 6 of 8 starters and from the sound of it i will be going to 3rd with dusty at seconed the whole outfeild is back and we need to replace a 1st baseman and have two very capable in Alex Allen and Marshal Klein it will be a competion there we return a very solid catcher in Taylor Isackson and we have in my opinion 4 to 5 pitcher that will be able to throw strikes which is all that matters. Chris and Dustin Wenzel Alex Allen Wentz Nathan Schlosser and me kind of this is for strikes we will be relying on our D with them thankfully there is woodys this season

Just my opinion but i think i would know a little bit more about CHS baseball i do play there
