back in the early 80's. On top of hitting, he is 6-3 with 3.99 ERA as a pitcher. Teams only hit like .245 off him.

Bryce mentioned that no SEC recruited him until late into his senior year and by then he was committed to MTSU. He also said MSU never really showed any interest in him. Thank Ronnie Baseball for that one.

They rely on what the scouts say too much when they name their team vs on the field results.

It would be like not having Tim Tebow as an AA in football because there are QB's that translate better in the NFL.

1) It sucks the SEC isn't better represented on the first team.<div>

They've always been about the pro prospects when it comes to rating college players and ranking college teams. I guess they somehow see it as part of their overall mission or marketing plan or something b/c each guy of the last few guys that's headed up their collegebaseball coverage has done it that way.

It can certainly be disconcerting if you don't realize that's their m.o.

their opinion of how an All-American team should be done. I can see their logic somewhat, but at the same time it's more logical to do it the way that all other sports do their All-American team.

What they should do is say:

Here is our All-American team.

And then here is our Top prospect team.

They used to also try to boost up college teams in other parts of the country where college baseball isn't as popular- like Rhode Island or St. John's- and it makes their poll worthless.

and let people know. You are calling this your college baseball section of your blog, treat it that way or let people know otherwise.

Personally, I think what happens is they are just not very committed to it so when forming their AA team, its just easier for them to go off the knowledge they have of prospects.

his era was over 4 last year. He is good but there are a few pitchers that should be on there instead of him.
Edited to add: I actually looked at the list after posting and would take Routt over a few of those.
