Blake Dean Back??

I think he needs to come back. Just because he has basically lived as a DH in college. His stock would rise if he can show he is good in the field. Plus if he can start off good and pick up at the end he would do better as well next year.

what about him at 1B?

I would think he could make the transition to 1B. It looks like Ochinko won't be back, so he'd fill a need there.

why not try to be a position player next year to show scouts you aren't 1 dimensional and raise your stock

Logic? You really want blake dean in the OF for LSU next year?

blake dean is better than 10th round.hes better than shimpf and he went in the 5th.all he has to do is work hard and carry the team on his back and hes a 2-5 rounder for sure.he can carry a team on his back.i think hes our best player this year.

Schimpf has wayyy more pro upside, that is why he was drafted before Dean. Schimpf is also a better all around player than Dean.

i think dean is a 4 out of 5 hitting.a 2 out of 5 in the field.shimpf is a3 out of 5 hitting and fielding.but dean has something about him.he can carry a team.our 2nd baseman cant carry our team.

There's no point for Dean to come back! He loses all his leverage and he won't be playing OF next year, maybe 1st if he's lucky. Even if he gets drafted in the 6-8 range he prob would get the same money, maybe less than this year. Let's hope he ends his LSU career with a great performance in Omaha.
