LSU signees in top 500 for upcoming MLB draft

Jake Cave lhp/of 20
Trevor Story ss 30

Uh oh.

Out of all those we need the C and LHP the most.

Obviously it's more likely that we hold on to the guys 180 or lower, but you never really know what's going to happen.

Definitely need the LHP.

We've also got the number 36 and 61 JUCO draft prospects with Brent Bonvillain at Delgado (I think he went there from Nicholls, but I'm not sure) and Nick Goody, who is shooting up the draft charts because he hits the mid 90s consistently. Goody's height is a concern for MLB though.

Austin Southall is number 13 on the JUCO list, he didn't have the grades to get in last year, but I think he'll be going pro soon anyway so I doubt he evern comes to LSU.

We need outfielders and a 1st baseman. I am not sure who is behind Nola, which probably means a SS would help out.

You think? They could play him at so many positions really

Those seem a little high for the guys at the top. Are those rankings for draft eligible players or just high school seniors?

That would be my guess also. The college class is so much deeper than normal it's hard to imagine a guy like Cave being in the top 20....even though he will be picked relatively early.

The guy from Missouri also plays SS, but is supposed to be a good athlete and can change positions.

Losing Davis and Koziol has really killed any depth we may have had this season.

Ray has been playing a lot of OF according to the box scores.

Have you seen Goody's strikeout numbers lately?

Tyler Moore that high is an absolute joke... Aaron Johnson is pretty awesome.. Much higher than 500... Lefty throwing mid 90

bye bye to both of them
