Baseball America just released its preseason poll.
LSU comes in at 22
Tulane comes in at 25
No UL
I predict that UL will be ranked ahead of both of these teams at year end !!!!!

Going to be an interesting year with the new bats. A LOT fewer home runs and less offense. Not familar w/thhis year's team-but may work to yall's advantage w/Robe's usual strengths-pitching and small ball.
I'd say that I think we'll finish ahead of Tulane, but I'm not sure about LSU. Although our pitching is deep, we lack a True Ace, we have a bunch of #2's and #3's. We return a bunch of hitters, but mostly they are gap hitters and station to station type guys which means that we're prime to go cold from time to time this season. I think we'll be good, I'm just not sure that we'll be top 25 type good.
I talked to a few players from UL, Southeastern, LSU, & Bama over the holidays and they all said the same thing; Better than wood, not as big of sweet spot as aluminum. They use wood all summer long so its not going to be a big change for the players maybe just the college fans. It makes me wonder if the pitchers are going to start pitching inside again.
ToLame has 2 of the three starting pitchers returning and the freshman from Covington should get his innings as the season progresses. Last year it was their bullpen that didn't perform well. They also lost their pitching coach to Houston and that will be an adjustment. In addition, they played 5/6 freshmen most every game and the only real loss is Segedin @ third. They should be better but they don't have much depth.
