If we continue to underperform, you have to take a chance at some point though.
Have a little foresight & talk to me for a minute here
Who is the future at LSU in terms of position players?
Cabrera is the “star”, and while he is formidable, he’s a B type prospect.
Look at the Junior class. He’s the only homegrown guy left.
Soph class has guys that can’t break into the bottom of a below average lineup. Beloso is a program guy. That’s fine. But no star power.
Doughty looks like a guy in the Freshman class. They’ll lose Hampton to football eventually. Travinski & Arnold could be something in time I guess.
But where are the dudes? The state of the program in regards to position players is going to be a problem really soon. You can only patch so much with JUCO guys.

Are you writing off Bianco & Dugas?

Cabrera has shown flashes (this weekend included) of being a first round prospect, but he also has hit his fair share of slumps (though I think last year was due to his injury).
I think Beloso is more than just a "program guy." He might not project well at the next level, but he has the potential to be a great player here. I also wouldn't write off Gio. He could make a big jump at the plate next year ala Andrew Stevenson.
You didn't even mention the best player in this freshman class so far. Milazzo is a stud behind the plate and has shown that he can hit. He might wind up being one of the best catchers to ever play here. Doughty and Hampton both have the tools as well.

To me, this has been the biggest problem the last 2 seasons. And it’s not his fault, really, but I think they were expecting him to make a Bleday-type jump last year and to be competing for the Golden Spikes award for the 2nd straight season. His being about the same guy he was as a freshman is not what they were counting on.
