I have consolidated the topic onto the Midwest Conference board.

(I try to keep the board topics to a minimum so we don't have the chaos of three and four pages of Regional Boards.  I will be consolidating the National topics boards over the next 3-6 weeks.)

Traffic on the baseball boards is really slow until January for the West and South Region and then it picks up in February on the other regional boards.

Welcome aboard  +1!   :)

In the North, I like Ripon and SNC... in the South, I like Grinnell and Illinois.

Agree with BigPoppa in the North Division, Ripon and St. Norbert.  As for the South, I'll take Monmouth and Grinnell.

Where is everyone heading for the spring trips?  I know Monmouth is going to Florida for 7 games starting this Saturday.

Carroll goes to Fort Meyers March 19-25.  New coach and sounds like a new attitude.  They go all the way to Florida and end up playing UW Oshkosh while there.

Derek Hassell will do a fantastic job at Carroll. Give him a few years and they will be very competitive in the North Division.

The players are seeing a big difference already.  They did lose last years SS Matt Francois to elbow surgery but they have the core of players who showed some promise last year.  The only division team they didn't beat at least once was Ripon...which is progress already.

I can only hope that the BBCOR bats will stop another 16 HR doubleheader at Frame Park ;D

No one thinks that Beloit will make any noise?

Beloit lost a ton from 2010. I don't see them filling those holes unless I am mistaken. They were a senior dominated line-up last year and not many underclassmen got considerable reps.

Beloit did lose some great seniors but this year's team is also going to have a lot of upperclassmen who actually have gotten a significant amount of PT.  In addition there are some guys who weren't able to get playing time behind our graduated seniors who have a lot of talent.  the 4 seniors Beloit lost didn't account all of the talent on that team.  I think Beloit should still be at least in the conversation.

BigPoppa

If the underclassmen had a ton of talent last year, they would have played ahead of the seniors who were not getting it done. Beloit was a HUGE disappointment last year.

OK golfguy. Often on these boards offering YOUR thoughts and opinions is a great way to start a conversation. It almost always works better than just asking other people for their takes over and over. It always seems to me that asking this type of question means you're hoping someone will mention your son/nephew/siginificant other/high school buddy/self.

Edgewood College swept a DH from Ripon today down in Florida, 4-1 and 5-3. EC starting pitching was good and the Eagles led the whole day except for a two-run top of the first inning from RC in game two. Ripon is 0-3, EC is 2-1.
