Atl Blue,
I don't know if that's Tony Thompson's group your talking about but that's not the case in Fetch's group. Also, the egos tend to come out a little more at off the field events (camps, get-togethers) but for the most part, that stuff is fairly minimal on the field or in the lockeroom. Usually, the first pregame of the series sets the tone for the weekend and you get a pretty good idea of what your partners are like. Remember, in college baseball, especially at the Div I level, you have a wide variety of backgrounds (ie, 30 yr old guy just out off AA pro ball to 56 year old man with 20+ yrs of NCAA experience).
Personally, when you get to a certain level, you can pretty much tell within the first couple innings whether your partner has "skills" or he's full of $hit. Guys that talk a big game don't last long at the higher levels. I believe in letting your work on the field do the talking and that is what will get the respect from your peers and supervisors. Just my opinion
