Coleman became a dominant pitcher that carried LSU to two straight college World Series, including a national title. He was twice the college pitcher as Ranaudo, and he's been a good pro. They are just one year apart, yet Ranaudo is still stuck in the minors, and Coleman is a good reliever in the Show.


So much is wrong with this statement, it's hard to tfigure out where to begin.

Go back to 2009 and you'll see that, as a sophomore, Raunado had just as much to do with winning the CWS as Coleman. Secondly, while they may only be a a year apart in pro experience, Coleman is 3 years older than Ranaudo. As to the majors/minors argument, one is a reliever with the ROYALS, a team who hasn't made the postseason since 1985. The other is a starter with the RED SOX, a team that has missed the postseason twice while he's been in their organization.

Also, Ranaudo's elbow injury his last year at LSU set him back quite a bit. Last season was really his first fully healthy season as a pro.

It is hard for me to choose between Nola and Gausman. The season Nola had last year was one of the best in LSU history. That really isn't hyperbole. The kid dominated last year. I think Gausman may be a better pitcher overall, but Nola had the best single season of the two, and will probably end up with better overall stats when it is all said and done. (Except for strikeouts per 9)

Behind those two I would put Coleman, then Ranaudo. I love me some Coleman. He is one of my favorite LSU pitchers that I have ever seen.
