practice gets underway in less than a month.

collegiate baseball revealed their top 40, we were not in it.

#5 oregon state
#7 arizona
#21 washington
#24 stanford
#25 arizona state

based on the "others receiving votes" grouping, we came in at #56.

tough to really say much about the team at this point. lots of returning guys, but outside of david petersen, aj balta, and tim susnara i can't imagine anyone has a job locked up.

It'll be the least exciting year probably since the team was reinstated. With that being said, I'd be fun if we could surprise some people.

they can certainly get back to the postseason. i think the rotation will be stronger, and you can't get much worse hitting.

Should be an interesting year. Horton on last year of contract, Wasikowski gone. Really not sure what to expect this year, maybe they surprise us and come out of no where (like Utah last year) and win the Pac. I like Peterson on mound a lot and was stated the offense can't get any worse. Hopefully a couple young guys step up and break out.

baseball is weird, too. good teams can come from nowhere. our best team since rebirth missed the postseason the year prior and lost its presumed ace before the season even began. we just got on a good roll and knew how to win ballgames.

The team has underwhelmed when expectations have been high and has surprised people when the expectations have been low so they very well could be a pleasant surprise this season.
