www.secsports.com - SEC Announces Annual Baseball Honors you'd think the fact that LSU has crappy players yet came in 2nd in the SEC would mean at least Manieri would get an honor SEC PLAYER OF THE YEAR - *Gordon Beckham, Georgia SEC PITCHER OF THE YEAR - Joshua Fields, Georgia SEC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR - Hunter Morris, Auburn SEC SCHOLAR-ATHLETE OF THE YEAR - Gordon Beckham, Georgia SEC COACH OF THE YEAR - David Perno, Georgia * unanimous selection FIRST TEAM 1B - Justin Smoak, South Carolina 2B - Josh Adams, Florida / Ryan Wilkes, Kentucky 3B - Pedro Alvarez, Vanderbilt / Logan Forsythe, Arkansas SS - *Gordon Beckham, Georgia C - Bryce Massanari, Georgia OF - Collin Cowgill, Kentucky OF - Sawyer Carroll, Kentucky OF - Matt den Dekker, Florida/ Brandon May, Alabama David Macias, Vanderbilt DH - Alex Avila, Alabama P - Patrick Keating, Florida P - Chris Rusin, Kentucky RP - Joshua Fields, Georgia SECOND TEAM 1B - Hunter Morris, Auburn 2B - Alex Feinberg, Vanderbilt 3B - James Darnell, South Carolina SS - Ryan Flaherty, Vanderbilt / Reese Havens, S.

That's fine. They can watch our team of nobodies run through the SEC tourney and we can sit back and laugh.
Talking to several Ole Miss fans here in Memphis and they all talked about one or two of the Ole Miss "stars" being a problem for the team this year – team chemistry, etc. Maybe simply having a damn strong TEAM is the key. Just keep winning. Geaux Tigers! ldskule:
That's the difference in where we are now and where we were, we had "Chemistry" problems too...and a lot. Winning has a way of curing those things.
Seems to me that you have an axe to grind with our coach or something, but I know you're not usually that way so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.
He is saying we had a lot of immature guys and once we started winning a couple of games it allowed them to mature as baseball players and young adults and they put aside their differences. If we lose a couple then the people around them will see how far they have come.
No ax to grind, just stating a fact...Jack. :wink: Thought my comment was thread related. "No players on All-SEC 1st or 2nd team", comment about Ole Miss, mine about a similarity we shared... We had some chemistry problems. There was some nut cuttin going on among teammates. Believe it or don't believe it, no need to elaborate cause times are grand now and we should enjoy something that we haven't been able to in a long time- a baseball team with some pep in their step. That would be correct. Even the establishment of the pitching rotation set some things in place and removed a lot of the competitive tension.
