I think overall this will be a more talented team than last year


Deeper doesn't mean more talented.

Like we brought in a lot of talented players this offseason, but none of them are in the same stratosphere as Crews and Skenes.

Not an insult on them, just mad respect for how out-of-this-world Crews and Skenes were. Most teams pray to have one of those type of talents to win a championship, we had them both.

And even still, had to absolutely scratch and claw to win one. This team may end up being better and not have the same success.

You don't think it be like that sometimes... But it do.

Two players don’t adjust the curve much when you’re talking about overall talent of a team.

And overall talent of the team doesn’t necessarily predict the success they will have.

No we don’t have the top 2 picks in next years draft on this team. The pitching staff is still more talented this year than last year even accounting for Skenes.

Crews is the best position player in LSU history. You don’t replace that but the overall talent in the outfield is still higher this year than last year.


Whoever lands at DH will have more “talent” than Beloso. That doesn’t mean they will perform as well as the 30 year old vet did though.
