select:
- starting 9
- DH (can be any player)
- 3 starting pitchers
- 3 relievers

Base your selections on what they did at LSU and not necessarily success they had in the pros (for example, Brian Wilson shouldn't be on anyone's list because he was just decent at LSU as a starter.)


1B: Eddy Furniss
2B: Todd Walker
3B: Russ Johnson
SS: Brandon Larson
C: Micah Gibbs
OF: Jared Mitchell
OF: Mikie Mahtook
OF: Lyle Mouton
DH: Joey Belle

SP: Ben McDonald
SP: Anthony Ranaudo
SP: Brett Laxton

RP: Matty Ott
RP: Doug Thompson
RP: Rick Greene

Wow. That batting order would be a nightmare. Maybe:

Walker
Belle
Mahtook
Larson
Mitchell
Johnson
Furniss
Mouton
Gibbs

I'm not a baseball guy, so that's probably way off strategically. But just thinking about facing that lineup, I'm like, "Wait, where's the bottom of the order? Who the hell do I pitch around?"

I dont know why anyone would have Ranaudo as their starting pitcher. He had one good year, and it came in the same year where Louis Coleman had a better statistical year.

I could probably do without all his strikeouts, but he did manage to be on fire in the CWS that year.
