My prediction, if Curran hits his PB/HB on day two then he'll make the team and bump Yul, Khoi, or Paul to an alternate position for whichever doesn't hit their PH routines today. If Curran doesn't hit his PB then, he's out and him, Donnell or Shane will be named alternates. Asher and Fred are locks.
