re: Would you rather: Beau Jordan or Brennan Breaux in the OF

Breaux is off to a good start this season as to Beau not so much. Beau isn't taking advantage of his starts.

yeah because Greg Sr told me his kid was gone no matter what and I relayed that information, then he went on a massive tear right before the draft, and decided to stay to bolster his stock. Somehow everyone believes me about Cole McKays injury progression and so on and so forth. I said something that was true AT THE TIME reported from the horses mouth of a players father. But its life, shite changes. I'm just telling you that I have a ton of access to the baseball team, have for 39.87 years. Sorry all you do in life is post on a damn message board.

did you just compare 800 posts to over TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND? jesus christ.

Breaux

Platoon best lefty vs righty. Ride the hottest bat and pinch hit the other as often as possible

And start your 2nd best pitcher on Friday.....am I smart like you now?

Brennan Breaux- Our Laffy pipeline is nice. STM kids have done well in the past for the tigers in the outfield. Mahtook and Stevenson both played in the CWS. I think Breaux will too.

I think you ride Breaux for now

After watching Beau again on Sunday I have to stick with this. Just think Breaux is a better all around player. To me the Jordan twins are hard nosed team guys who you can call upon off the bench, but as everyday players on this level I think we just simply have more talent to put out there now. They both surprised me last season doing what they did at the plate, but seemed to come back down to earth hard the latter part of the season. I also think Zach Watson is one to watch as well.

Also, I wonder how much it messes with Beau's psyche that his brother is out. He's always played with him.

Statements like these I do not understand. I have watched them and their peer group grow up. They have won at the highest level from the time they came out of the womb until now. No surprises when it comes to this group, their resume speaks for itself if you do the homework.

Fortunately college baseball (and football) coaches have a different opinion than the rant when it comes to the Jordan twins as well as their Barbe peers. They may not all fit the "stereotype" but they are proven winners and TEAM first guys. You win A LOT of games when you have kids like that on your roster. Bottom line.

Means absolutely nothing in regards to success on the NCAA level and especially pro level. Plenty of players can have successful high school careers, win state championships and then just arent quite as good as other on the next level. Happens all the time. Again, I think the Jordan twins are solid hard nosed players, I just dont think they have quite the amount of pure talent we have at our school right now with some other guys. With guys like Breaux and Watson coming in it creates a lot of competition for them.

To me, they are sure fire starters on a mid-major/lower level power conf team but at LSU they are more of come off the bench kind of guys when we have the talent we have assembled now. Not a knock on them, we have a lot of talent at LSU right now. Bryce to me would be firmly in competition for DH right now, probably starting since Adams seemingly flamed out early and Mainieri would probably start him over Woley...but look what Woley has done at DH so far. 5 for 11 with 2 doubles, a triple and .538 OBP. We are just loaded right now.
