re: LSU softball batting anaylsis by player

Good post Bayou Bum. We actually agree on 95% of it.

2b. I won't be a person that sits here and defends Connie on her game. I like the rest of you have watched for 4 years her not get any better at the plate.

Forget Dawson, this was the basis of the debate. Don't pick and choose analogies made to rebut certain points (more on that later). The question is, why not give a young, high ceiling player, like Sanchez or Cunningham if you don't like Dawson's abilites, these reps when the program simply is not getting better at this one position? It's a legitimate critique.

I would never EVER put her in the elite players class coming out of high school.

This is just silly. She was a top 5 national middle infielder by Flo Softball, Top 30 overall player and a National Player of the Year and Consensus 1st team All American. She was the NFCA Golden Shoe Award Winner as the nation's top base stealer in the USA for all high school's. There is only one of these in all of high school softball per year.

Break her down all you want, maybe she will be a bust but to say she was not an elite pre-college player can't be defended.

Anyway, keep up the good debate. I always appreciate anyone's honest perspective.
