I think your take is fairly good.
What do you make of Davenport? Do you think he could make the lineup at either 149 or 157?
I have the likelihood of pulling AA a different order. Otherwise: You are the expert.
Byrd, Luffman, Connell, ZBraunagel, Ruth, DBraunagel, Pucino, and Cardani.
Reasoning:
Byrd is due.
I like how Luffman look(s).
Connell is at 184, which is clearing out of a lot of top contenders.
ZBraun is at 197, which is where a lot of the gents are heading to
Ruth is a Wildcard. I could see him going 0-2 but I also see flashes of his brother in him.
DBraun is just... not sure. Seems HEW?
Cardani could end up surprising some folks now that he is healthy.
Pucino is better than the end of the season showed last year, I think.
I also honestly think that if DBraunagel were to descend to 157 he could be a sleeper. He looked smaller than a lot of gents that I have considered 'average' 165lbers this last year. I know dropping weight and injuries often coincide, so that is the one reason I would say to not to.
