Personally I loved Dean... I also loved watching Walker, Furniss, Cresse, and others... but where does Dean rank among all of LSU baseball players?
McDonald/Walker seem to be #1 on any list

You don't get many like him to stay for 4 years. He and Katz were a special pair. Definitely deserves to be on any all-time list.

top 10, closer to 10 than 1
Posted on 4/24/14 at 6:35 pm to tduecen
Not in my top 10, but I'd say top 20 for sure.
Posted on 4/24/14 at 6:40 pm to tduecen
I always called him beans
Posted on 4/24/14 at 6:40 pm to tduecen
Are we talking all players of just hitters? Because if it's all players he might not make the top 10.

Seemed like he was always able to come up with the clutch hit when we needed a run and we had a runner in scoring position.

Me and Blake used to cook hamburgers together

the grand slam he hit vs the Gumps in the Saturday game in Hoover in '08 was unbelievable. The LSU fans just exploded.

Top 20 probably. His stats are skewed by playing 4 years. Nothing special in the field is what killed his career. But a great hitter.
Posted on 4/24/14 at 8:21 pm to tduecen
Not very high. Certainly not in the top 20. He was very lazy. And he couldn't play a position.

Good player but the bats really helped him out in that era. I'm not so sure he would be nearly as highly thought of in the post 2010 era.

GOAT

he could just hit a frickin baseball. hit for power and average. was as clutch as they come and loved LSU. Definitely on my all-time list and one of my personal favorites
Posted on 4/25/14 at 4:50 pm to tduecen
One of my favorites. His swing was so smooth.
