BB: General New England Discussion

[KSCfan]

Hobbesy good stuff on the blog, as usual i love reading your work.  Wanted to throw this out there to the fellow NE.  The leagues are very close this year and you see lots of teams beating each other.  What teams are going to get the at large bids?  I mean right now I dont see any team in NE that is a lock to get into the tournament even if they dont win thier conference.

I love how there is so much parity this year where you can get so many different results.  Word had Wes at #2 and Hobbesy left them off altogther.  Nothing is established yet.

While we are at it...

1.  Wheaton (17-5) - After a down year back on track and looking good with sweep over Babson.
2.  Bowdoin (19-5) - Best series win when they knocked off Trin.
3.  ECSU (16-6) - Pitching needs to come around, but they mash.
4.  Wesleyan (19-6) - Not always pretty, but they win.  Sonnenfeld is a monster.
5.  WNEC (21-6) - Good win over ECSU, similar team to them as well.  They mash, but limited pitching.
6.  Trinity (13-4) - Missing Graham, but Wood could be New England's best hitter.
7.  Tufts (15-3) - Quietly winning games, but huge matchup with Trin this weekend is first real challenge.
8.  RIC (15-5) - Suprise of the region and leading the LEC.
9.  Babson (17-7) - Great start, but they need Aizenstadt to do any real damage in Regionals.
10. St. Joe's (19-9) - Already split with toughest challenger GNAC challenger Suffolk.

Fans of NE d3 baseball, most teams have reached the half way point or are around their half way point of the season.  My question to you...  Who are the biggest surprises of the season, who are the disapointments of the season, who are the best 5 players in NE and if you had to pick 8 to go to a regional right now who would they be?

This will be tough on the teams remaining. How will it affect automatic bids, etc. Probably means the end of TCCC.

At this particular moment in time, your 8-team regional would have to be (in no particular order):

Endicott (winnner, TCCC)
Suffolk (winner GNAC)
Rhode Island (winner LEC)
Worcester State (winner MASCAC)
Castleton State (winner NAC)
Tufts (winner NESCAC)
Wheaton (winner NEWMAC)
Trinity (best of the rest according to the polls)

I don't think that's what it will look like at the end of the regular season, but there are some teams that need to start taking care of business.
