BB: Pre-season All-American Teams

[Billy 40]

Billy 40,

The fact that there are other players out there with comparable numbers to Youchak is exactly what I am talking about. 

Yet there isn't a single one with comparable numbers to David.  Ergo....

Safe to say Derek David will be Player of the Year?

If I could give karma points I would, good point Billy

He certainly walked into that one, didn't he? I apologize for putting an end to a pretty good thread though, sorry. lol.

Doug Coe from Stevens Point is the best player in D3 hands down.

Very nice numbers, consitent season, but not enough to be "hands down" the best player in D3. And let's all be real: Derek David had a sick power season (which fuels the rb and runs numbers) and excellent other offensive numbers. May not be five tools (seems that he has below verage speed) but still had a POY season.

ShineTime - thanks for joining the conversation...a little late though.

Your guy has some good stats, but not even close to David's when compared.  about 25 less runs scored, 11 less HR's, and 17 less RBI's.  

good season, but not close to the best "hands down."

thanks for the input though, Coe will most definitely have All-American consideration!!

The 2009 Pre-season All American team will be released in the next few days.

Let's resume the discussion.

In a "few days"...or TODAY?

pre-season all american list comes out today hopefully and im looking foward to seeing the south region players that are represented. I expect to see Bailey (cnu) Delvin (LC) and Moore (ncwc) at least represented, and it would be a mistake if all 3 are not atleast on the Honorable Mention team, espeically the VA boys.  Good luck to those three and i hope  and will see if d3baseball really has a honorable pre season all american list

Easy there baseballbaseball......It's just a pre-season list and I know it is an honor to be on it but what is a honorable list?  If your guys are not on it and they are at the end of the year they have then proved your point.  I just don't get the Honorable thing.  People vote on it, do you think these guys and or gals would have a bias against and region or a team.  I don't see it.

DG,   id advice you to look at the history of all the pre-season all american list and then look at the post season all american list before you get on a wall post and tell me or any other person to be easy. Usually people on this site know what they are talking about but i guess they let anyone have a chance to say their word.

Other than the north portion...not much love for the South Region.  Power numbers appear to count for A LOT for the position players.
