Desko and the staff do go by actual production as far as I can tell, I think it sometimes takes a while for them to make a move once a starter struggles (see Hill and Evans this year) but guys with higher pedigrees and awards are more likely to get a first shot based on a prior history of getting the job done.

Firman and Fusco are both good poles but there not the two best team on the team. Fusco has been practicing at LSM for 2 years and after the failed Matt Harris experiment I doubt they move him down unless there are major issues or injuries.

As far as  Mariano goes again I expect him to stay where he is, the staff had plenty of chance to move him back to attack once Prioli went down and they didn't.  I believe its very likely he stays at midfield as he finally got comfortable there midway through the season and really was a force up to the tail end of the season when he hit the wall.  Him having to sit while the second mid line is in is offset by the fact that he will be drawing a LSM or a short stick when he is in versus the opposing teams # 1 defender for 60 minutes.  Syracuse has a lot of young options at attack the staff is likely to go with them and maybe rotate Mariano their sparingly.
