Baseball America Preseason Top 25

Dex says hello… Much like the other thread imagining what this basketball team would be like if it had EP back for his senior year, I often wonder what the team last year would have been like with Dex back… He was our best hitter the year before he left, and even though we didn't need him last year because of how solid and deep we were everywhere, I can't help but imagine how much deeper and stronger we would have been with him…

We still wouldnt have been preseason top 25 with dex coming back and us not being preseason top25 or having dex didnt stop us from being ranked 1st. I'm sure if we had all the juniors back from last year we would be looking a lot better... But if they weren't good enough to get drafted high enough to leave early then we wouldn't have been as good. It is what it is. After what we lost I don't see why anyone expects more... In their eyes we return an all american SS... That's it. Win and we are right back, don't win and we aren't. 17 guys of our 35 man roster are freshman and sophomores.

Not disagreeing with your point, because I too believe we aren't top 25 right now, and don't deserve to be in the preseason rankings because of how much we lost. Was just pointing out that we did lose our most productive player from the year before, last year. And I'm not quite sure where you are getting this "we still wouldn't have been preseason top 25, because by my recollection, we were preseason top 20 in 3 of the 5 polls last year...

Not in this poll I don't believe...he was also gonna need surgery, the royals picked up the tab which is why he left.

We were absolutely in the Baseball America preseason top 25 last year… #17 if my memory serves correct...

[campo118]

Dang, I was off… we were #14 in last year's preseason poll…

Ok, so what was your point in bringing uo dex? You think he would had us ranked higher than first?

[ManAboutTown]

Thinking back on last year.. God, it was so great. So much fun.
Ranked unanimous #1 was a thrill.

I can't imagine Dex being in that lineup, last year. That would have been even more all time than that team already proved to be.

Do you argue just for the sake of argument? My god I'm getting tired of reading your non stop chatty cathy uninformed opinion of everything. As the old saying goes, It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt. No I don't think Dex would have had us "ranked higher than first" you sarcastic nitwit, but like I said originally, I can't help but wonder if he could have been the difference to get us over the hump in game 3 of the Supers… possibly been a catalyst or something...

And the point of bringing up Dex was to say we didn't return everyone, but rather lost our most productive player from the 40 win regional team the year before. Just again, proving that you make inaccurate comments all over this damn site, but get sassy when someone points out that your "facts" are a little skewed.
