Jason Vargas and Ivan Naccarata would have been a deadly combo.

Vargas was part of a 3 man rotation of future MLBers at LBSU that included himself, Jered Weaver and Cesar Ramas.

Troy Tulowitzki and 2 other MLB hitters were also on that team


and they finished 2nd in their conference

I think he would have made a difference for LSU. Bumstead was our #1. Vargas would have been in that role. He was better than Determan, and that dude was very good, 7-0.

I think you mean Turtle. Smoke didn't know who we were signing half the time.

Jason Vargas was homesick too much in Baton Rouge, he left in the summer only to return to school in the fall. He would have been easily Smoke's best player if he would've stuck around, but in Omaha, not always the best team wins out, unless your last name is Bertman.
