Before comparing the 09' team to the 13' team we must realize the 09' group was one of the top five most talented teams ever at LSU. They had dominant starters, deep bullpen, veteran leaders, power, speed, and a closer in his prime.

Another note is the bats from 09' and 13' are nothing alike.

This years group has the "potential" to be great. IF IF IF guys like Sciambra, Laird, and Ibarra hit at least for average this team could be special and go deep into the tournament.

Pitching is a push. I want to see how guys step up. What I like about the current team is they have a great 1&2 punch plus a utility guy in Cotton, something the 09' squad didn't even have. Remember Coleman was the 2nd starter at times...

Comparing the lineup, hands down 09' wins.

Athletically, hands down the 13' wins.

If you were to put these teams up against each other I'd say the 09' team wins 7 out of 10 times.

I think 2013 has the edge at 3B, SS, 1B, C and in the bullpen. If Jones lives up to the hype, then the expectation is LeMahieu type production (mid .300s BA with a handful of homers). That said, 2009 was so much better in the OF and Coleman was not human.
