I am going to keep up w these predictions bc I think since baseball coaches are supposed to be "experts" of baseball, talent, etc., they should have the best idea as to who should be good or bad in baseball. Right?
Well, in 2012 both Miss State and Kentucky were picked to finish 5th in the West and East (out of 6th) but they finished tied for 2nd in each division. Kentucky was a half game out winning the overall SEC title. And the coaches picked Alabama to finish 3rd in the West, they won 9 and finished last.
You can't predict injuries, lack of performance or development of new players (especially). We shall see how they do bc I will keep up with it.
So according to them Arkansas and Vanderbilt should run away w their divisions, 12 out of 14 votes each received.
Someone sure believes in Kentucky. 1 vote to win the East and 1 vote to win the SEC. Miss State got 1 vote to win the West.
Apparently, starting pitching wins out over offense these days. Arkansas and Vanderbilt have strong starting pitching.
