2013 Roster: An Early Look

Updated 7/18/12

This is my best projection at this point of the Fall Roster for the Missouri Tigers, based on those remaining on the roster after Senior and Draftee departures, plus the list of recruits we have at this point.

Three recruits were drafted this week. At this point we still don't know whether any or all of those three will go pro or come to Mizzou.  [Trrip note, 6/13/12:  Bralin Jackson and Hunter Haynes have both signed pro contracts] They are marked with an asterisk on the list below.  Blake Brown, Eric Garcia and Blake Holovach were all drafted and all have signed pro contracts.

For more information about the incoming recruits, see our posts labeled Recruiting.

As happens every year, some players will not be returning to the Tigers next year. I'm told that list this year includes Landon Lucansky, Drew Carlile, Jeff Cline and Brett Thomas .

[Trrip note, 6/15/12:  I've learned that IF Paxton Delagarza has chosen to go the JuCo route and will not be coming to Mizzou]

Also there will undoubtedly be additional newcomers that I don't know about yet, or who haven't even been signed yet. There are always a few.

And if I've left somebody off (I about always do), please send me an e-mail and let me know:  simmonsfield@hotmail.com

Newcomers are in BOLD

LF Dane Opel
CF Brannon Champagne
RF Sal Belfonte
DH Scott Sommerfeld

Weekend rotation:
LHP Rob Zastryzny
RHP John Miles
RHP Brett Graves

Closer:
LHP Jake Walsh

Of course, it won't end up that way.  The Tigers have lost their starting catcher, first baseman, shortstop, third baseman, and an outfielder, plus one of their weekend starters and a long reliever and closer.  Lots of open positions with plenty of candidates fighting to earn the starting jobs.

  2. Andreas Plackis has made it clear that he will not be returning to the team next year. While he does have one year of eligibility remaining, he is entering Med School and needs to devote his time to that. http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2012/05/08/andreas-plackis/

  3. I spoke with someone somewhat close to Bralin Jackson and he thought Bralin was leaning towards going to college still...but nothing is set in stone.

  4. Bralin Jackson signed with the Rays yesterday above slot for $325, 000. He had been telling his teammates all season if he went 5th round or better, he would sign.
