Grading The Aggies
Just as scouts grade prospects using the 20-80 scouting scale, we use a 20-80 scale to evaluate teams in our top 25. A score of 50 in each category is average, relative to a typical NCAA tournament team; 55 is slightly above-average; 60 is above-average (plus); 70 is well above-average (plus-plus); 80 is top of the scale, historically strong. Accordingly, 45 is fringe-average or slightly below-average; 40 is below-average; 30 is well below-average; and 20 is the extreme in that direction.

Hitting: 55
Power: 60
Speed: 50
Defense: 60
Starting Pitching: 65
Bullpen: 60
Experience/Intangibles: 65

The Aggies certainly have some holes to replace in some spots, particularly with the departure of Friday night starter Brigham Hill. But otherwise, this is an experienced club ready to make a return trip to the College World Series.
Offensively, the Aggies welcome back experience across the diamond, from Bedford behind the plate to Shewmake and Janca on the left side of the infield. Meanwhile, Foster is a year older and the Aggies have some older transfers.
From an experience standpoint, A&M is most excited about the pitching staff with the return of several seasoned arms. Getting seniors Chafin and Sherrod back in the fold was huge for Childress's club, while Kolek and Kilkenny are powerful arms who had important roles last season. A&M also welcomes back lefty John Doxakis, who could be in the weekend rotation sooner rather than later with a strong start to the season, while there are other seasoned options out of the bullpen.
A&M isn't without question marks, but the experience is there to have a memorable season.

5. You do not have to play every week, total points won will win
6. Point system may be changed at my discretion at any time
7. Weather will be an issue, I'll post any instructions regarding weather prior to each game, check back often if inclement weather is in play
8. More rules may be added at my discretion

Again, if there is an EDIT after the game starts on your post, your prediction doesn't count....

Point System
Weekend Series
3 Points awarded if you correctly pick 2-1, 1-2 or 1-1 for a rained shortened series. No points awarded for a 1 game weekend series
1 Point awarded if you pick 2-1 and the Vols Sweep
6 Points awarded if you correctly pick a Sweep or Swept, doesn't matter if we only get in 2 games due to weather


Midweek Games
2 points for correctly picking the winner
games will be handicapped

Double Up
Double your point value if correct however the original point value is subtracted if your prediction is wrong. Example, you pick the Vols to go 1-2 and you Double Up, if they go 1-2 you will receive 6 points however if your pick is wrong you receive -3.


Pick with your gut and not your heart!!! - OT
