Huff debut is not surprising. He is a must added to roster guy at the end of this year and once your C has injuries, his defense will be good enough to serve. I will say messick is more of a surprise debut guy considering many options before him.
It will be interesting to see how accurate you are in a few months. That 2028 lineup looks really good but what happened to Gavin Williams and Luis Ortiz? You don't see Cooper Ingle starting in 2028 over Naylor?
