PGCrosschecker Team Rankings to Set the Standard
By PG Staff
A new wrinkle to the already highly competitive travel team world is about to be added with the introduction of the PGCrosschecker Team Rankings.

The PGCrosschecker Team Rankings will be based on a combination of player rosters and team achievement. Special consideration will be given to the quantity and quality of the players on a team’s roster that are included in the PGCrosschecker class rankings. Team achievement in WWBA and BCS events will be important, but the rankings will also consider how the team performs in all other non-affiliated events on their schedule...

SUMMER BASEBALL 2008
 
What’s In Store . . .
The 2008 summer college league schedule is off and running, and we’ll focus on the top teams, players and prospects through the course of the summer. Every week, beginning June 16, we’ll identify the top 16 teams as part of our annual Summer 16 Team rankings. We’ll also take a weekly look, beginning June 17, at 10 players/prospects who are dominating the summer leagues as part of our Summer 10 Player rankings.
 
At the end of the summer, we’ll provide our comprehensive rankings of the top prospects in every summer college league, ranging from the top 100 in the Cape Cod League to the top 10 in some of the lesser summer leagues—all with an eye towards identifying the top college prospects for the 2009 draft.
 

Summer 16-FINAL
Three-Team Battle For No. 1
With no definitive on-field championship to decide the No. 1 team in summer-college league competition, the race for the nation’s top team of 2008 presents an interesting dilemma. A case can be made for a number of teams, but in the end we’ve decided there are three candidates most deserving of finishing No. 1 in the final PG Crosschecker Summer 16 rankings. A case can be made for all three.

Case No. 1 is the Harwich Mariners, champions of the Cape Cod League, unquestionably the nation’s most prestigious and powerful summer league.

Case No. 2 is the Maryland Orioles, who passed every test this year on their way to capturing their sixth consecutive All-American Amateur Baseball Association championship.

Case No. 3 is the California Collegiate League’s Santa Barbara Foresters, who capped a strong late-season surge by winning the 42-team National Baseball Congress World Series, their second title in three years.

Summer 10
Pollock Powers Way To Top
The star power of the 2009 college draft class spent the 2008 summer season as members of Team USA’s historic college national team, which went 24-0 on the season and captured the World University championship in late July in the Czech Republic. Several members of that team, led by ace righthander Stephen Strasburg, are projected early first-rounders.

Not all of the top college talent spent the summer with Team USA, however. Two Cape Cod League players, in particular—Falmouth outfielder A.J. Pollock (Notre Dame) and Chatham shortstop Grant Green (Southern California)—positioned themselves as potential first-rounders a year from now with strong performances in summer-league competition.

There are other summer-league players who may become first-rounders, as well, but none performed quite to the level of Pollock and Green, both rising juniors.
