Your thoughts before football takes over this board. Ground Rule: not what you want, but what most likely will happen.

My signing predictions - Fraley, Poche, Deichmann (he's ready for pro ball at the plate, the rest they will teach him in the minors), just maybe Freeman.

What round did Deichmann go in? If he is gone, I'm guessing its more about his relationship with coaching.

Somewhere in the 20's I believe. Thing is will he really improve that much defensively to improve his stock. I lean towards no, so why not sign and go learn to play defense in the minors

Deichman makes the most sense to stay of anyone on the roster. He's improved drastically over the last month. He could come back, hit .330 with 14 HRs, more stolen bases, better defender, and he's a top 5 round pick. Plus he still has his leverage as a junior next year.

He could come back and be a top 5 rounder easily

these players have all reached their zenith with this Coaching staff vis a vis player development.....same could be said with some underclassmen who feel the staff here is lacking...i would expect underclass transfers out and in

If he does leave it's 100 percent his relationship with PM

That's the thing he's a power hitter. Going pro allows him to develop that more and let them find him a position that best fits his skill set. I don't see him playing 1st in the minors.

Thing is when you get in the minors he's allowed to be selfish and more free swinging. Nobody cares who wins or loses minor league games

CPM is not a Skip but he is definately not a JJ. CPM's problem is in game coaching decisions, not development. These guys would greatly benefit from coaching

Next year i hope/think the starting lineup will look like:

LF: Breaux (We've had freshman look much worse at the plate and become .300 hitters )
CF: Duplantis (Having lived in the weight room all offseason)
RF: Diechman
3B: Josh Smith
SS: Kramer
2B: Freeman
1B: No clue.... Beau Jordan? A freshman? Could see Lochridge, Wofford, and Dawson battling it out for this spot. At least one of the losers will transfer. I think Dawson will find his bat and play 1st. He's just too big and athletic to suck that much at the plate. That's my surprise pick, Dawson at 1st.
C: Papierski
DH: Ried

I think Breaux and Dawson would be the only underclassmen that could possibly transfer. Adams and Ducote I don't believe will be with the program next season, simply no room with the loaded class coming in. Smith, Watson, and Slaughter plus Kramer, Reid, possibly Greg and Freeman is a log jam of an infield. Dawson will be buried in depth, and I think Breaux will want to go somewhere where he can play. He's got 3 above average tools, consistent playing time could get that hit tool up. Don't think he gets it at LSU especially with the loaded infield possibly having to move someone to the outfield. We all know Beau ain't going anywhere.

I agree with most, but I think Ried stays at 3rd and Romero DH's. With a full season of AB's Romero could be a 15HR/60RBI type player.

Wofford, Lochridge, or Adams at 1st.

Sign > Fraley and Poche. Bugg should sign too. Smith may come back to be a starter and make more $$$
Transfers > The guys who did not make travel roster, except Bush. The Jordans??? What do they really give us?
Released > See transfers!!!

Gotta find people with guts of Poche to pitch.
