re: Will Dylan Crews go down as the GOAT?

Not likely. As stated, he'll need to lead us to a natty, then we'll see. At this point he hasn't even passed players like D.J. Lemahieu, not to mention all of the greats that have already been mentioned. Todd Walker and Eddie Furniss are up there for me.

I mentioned D.J. because he was outstanding here and has continued it in MLB, but he only really played 2 years here, which makes it hard to put him over some of those other players. But for those two years, he was outstanding in the middle infield, clutch at the plate, and on another level in post-season play. LSU does not win game 1 of the championship series in 2009 without him and it would have been 2 and a Q with Taylor Jungmann pitching game 2 for Texas.

Crews has the tools, but the fact that he is an outfielder, to me, will make it hard for him to be in the convo for GOAT because we have so many former players who were also sensational at the plate and played a larger role on defense.

Furniss had a .371 batting average in his four years at LSU, and set SEC career records for hits (352), doubles (87), home runs (80), runs batted in (309), and total bases (689).

And he got to use a fungo bat.
