re: Baseball America Top 25

FROM BA CHAT:

Andy (Baton Rouge, LA): The top 3 teams look to be in the SEC East this year, but how do you see the SEC West shaking out this year?


Aaron Fitt: Pretty wide open, I think. I'd give LSU a slight edge because of its strength up the middle (really like Nola/Hanover combo and Mahtook, obviously), but I'm very intrigued by that young, talented Arkansas team, too. Don't overlook Ole Miss -- should be a solid lineup of grinders with some pop and some athleticism, and the Rebels are convinced they have upgraded their pitching in the offseason. I need to see guys like David Goforth and Austin Wright do it in the spring before I really buy in, but I do really like their bullpen. And Auburn is still a factor too, although the Tigers lost a ton from last year. I could see any of those four teams winning that division.
