GEORGIA bulldogs
(45-25, 20-9)
final 2008 ranking: #2

The losses of shortstop Gordan Beckham and closer Josh Fields (who were each selected in the first round of last year’s MLB amateur draft) are colossal, but not insurmountable in the Bulldogs’ endeavor to return to the College World Series. UGA finished second in 2008, at one time winning four CWS games a row which included a victory over eventual champion Fresno State. Georgia returns five of nine offensive starters including slugger Rich Poythress (.374, 15, 75) and Bryce Massanari (.325, 11, 65) as well as Friday starter Trevor Holder (8-4, 4.41). Alex McRee (7-1, 3.98) could pile up impressive numbers in a starter’s role after scoring success in a dual role last season.
