Huskers meet with media

So it sounds like Kubat,Hander,Hirsch are the initial weekend starters. Pierce, Bummer, DeLeon are weekday starters and possible candidates to slip into the weekend role if there are any issues or we are in a tourney rotation. Vogt is the closer. I am guessing King, Howell, Chestnut are long relievers. Bublitz, Hawkins and Roeder are setup guys. Niederklein will be in there somewhere depending on his recovery. Everyone else redshirts.

Catcher is wide open and they probably platoon. My guess - I am going to guess Stringer ends up the main guy over time. Lubach & Fish alternative in depending upon batting lefty vs righty. Anyone have a better guess or more info?

SS is really tough to guess. I think it may end up being Peters because of a mention from Erstad but Placzek got a mention from Chad. I was hoping it was Edrington... Gotta go with the senior all things being close to equal? Peters probably has an edge offensively where he can bat 9th and bunt our leadoff hitter over and be a little tougher out in the last spot since he has being exposed to college pitching for 4 years. (Thats my theory) Peters may not have the range or arm of the other two?. (Have no idea..) but he should be a solid glove. Anyone have a better read or insight to the situation?

Everything else is pretty much known.
