AAC baseball Preseason poll. Bulls picked to finish 5th.

[BrassBulls12]

A little disrespectful in my eyes, I would have us at least in the top three

The article also announces a few preseason All- Conference selections.  

Redshirt sophomore LHP Shane McClanahan, senior RHP Peter Strzelecki and OF Duke Stunkel Jr, were all named to the AAC preseason all-conference team.

Here's to exceeding expectations. 

Also, apologies if this has already been posted. I know the article is a little dated.

Its great news, these predictions are never right.

2-5 are all pretty close in poll points. In 2017 there were 5 teams within 2 games of first. Wouldn’t worry too much about it.

If only Fox News had published this poll, then I'd know it was legit.

Sounds like a bunch of bull ********!!!! I can't wait till baseball season starts, I'm gonna pregame every game and heckle

Gotta think the coaching change had some influence on the voting.  Seven out of nine starting position players returning and two preseason all conference starters plus Perez at the back end of the pen...top 3 at worst IMO.

Fake news. The media can’t report the news accurately let alone predict it.

It's a coaches poll.

Bulletin board material. Let the Bulls run. We got this!

We lost alot, not in terms of players, but in terms of leaders.  Two of our best offensive players are gone (Merrell and Luke Borders).  They both had monster years last year.  And we lost some pitchers that were impact players all season long.  Phoenix Sanders was our Friday starter and had a very good year.  Ryan Valdes might have been the most underappreciated guy on our entire team.  He was asked to start games, and he also came out of the bullpen and gave us monster innings.  Led the team with like 9 wins or so.  We also lost another huge arm out of our bullpen in Joe Cavallero.  He got huge outs and ate up critical innings before handing the ball off to AP.  And from what I hear our midweek starter from last season won't be available this year (DJ Roberts) due to his injury in his last start.  So we will need some other guys to step up in order for us the finish in the Top 3.  That should be the goal of this team.
