I have to agree with CHS89 regarding Caravel and St Marks. I still see Caravel #1, St Marks #2. In my opinion, I can't see having those two closely ranked and not consider the head to head result. If you want to make an argument that Hodgson is #1, with Caravel #2 and St Marks #3, i could buy that i suppose. I don't necessarily agree with it, but i could buy it. I think you have to give some credit to the OOS opponents Caravel is playing. You can't punish for it. At a minimum you have to give them credit for beating Riverdale & playing such a good game with NG. But a loss is a loss, so i can see discounting that as well.
As for CHS's comment regarding NG, i do agree they are very good and that they would certainly be in Delaware's top 5, if not #1. And i get your point regarding GONE COUNTRY not giving credit to Caravel. BUT lets not totally discount Delaware baseball. NG was good...but I would put my money on Hodgson (w/ Walter on the mound) over Caravel and NG. I also would like Appo's chances with Garret on the mound. I would also think that Sallies with Hinton on the mound would give them a run, Arch with Voge and maybe Mtown with Peluse all would have a chance. Sorry if i'm leaving out a few. But overall i would say our top 5 would all be very competitive if not beat NG. Our 6 through 10 would give them a run if they played their best ball.
COUNTRY - thanks for the Rankings. I know its not easy to do rankings and you can never make everybody happy. But at least we have something thats thought out and your willing to defend your ranking, even if we don't agree with it completely. I'm actually glad its different than what i have, it gives us something to discuss.
