Lets talk about something other than steroids now... So what are everyones predictions right now for us in the WAC, how many games will we win total this year, and also who will be the surprise player for this year to step up and really help our team out?? Just trying to give us something new to talk about!!
If Albi keeps his head on strait - I think he could have a phenomenal year -
I think Clint Ewing will be freshman of the year -
I think Nick Grunenwald may be the SURPRISE of the year -

i meant to put this in earlier but Kersten is my surprise player of the year for us!
I thought long and hard about putting him up there -Originally Posted by latechsports!

Yea i think after watching him a few times this fall he will have a great year. He hit a few homers and was hitting the ball hard everytime. He also looks like he has gotten a little bigger so hopefully that will pay off also. I also agree with your Albie comment!

I think that we will be 39-17 going into the WAC tournament. I expect that several players will step up their game this season.I will be surprised if they don't.This is a veteran team coming back this season and they're hungry for post-season play. The surprises will come from the new talent we brought in.......Dullnig,Clements,Stubbs,LeBreton,Anderson ,& Ewing. Ewing is my choice for the top freshman potential in that group.
I think the most important thing is how well our pitching has developed. Should be much better with a veteran staff. I'm not worried about hitting. Should be better than last year, even with the loss of Rike and others. If we can get into the late innings with the lead, look for Lorio to snuff out the opponents. Albie could be MVP.

Rivals.com is picking us to finish 3rd in the WAC conference behind Fresno & Nevada.....http://collegebaseball.rivals.com/co...asp?CID=752372 They left out Tech players in their pre-season all-conference team also. I think they're in for a big surprise with all our recognition coming in June 2008 when it really matters.
The WAC always underestimates us. We split with Fresno in the regular season and I like our chances to get the better of them this year.
They leave them b/c Sim does not let them put any of his players up. he thinks its silly to have a pre-season all conference. Gotta say I agree.Rivals.com is picking us to finish 3rd in the WAC conference behind Fresno & Nevada.....http://collegebaseball.rivals.com/co...asp?CID=752372 They left out Tech players in their pre-season all-conference team also.

When did we stop putting players on the preseason ballots? Seems I remember some being on the preseason team in the past.
Re: A New Subject
I believe that last season was the first year coach Simoneaux requested this from the WAC.The players that would've been nominated are already on the radar of the mlb scouts,so a pre-season list is no big deal.Three years ago Ben Tabor was on the pre-season all-WAC team and he had a sub-par year,playing only a part time role on the team. Maybe there is a small fear of jinxing a player by nominating him to have an outstanding year before he even steps out onto the field.My hope is that in June, several of our players will be on the list that matters.
