Maybe Stanfield will come on and be a leadoff candidate

Stansfield at the 9 spot would be cool to see turnover the order.

3b Dickinson
1b Jones
Dh Hernandez/Beck
SS Bras
2nd Milam
LF Brown
RF Larson
C Priester
CF Stanfield

No way to predict what happens but that would be my preferred lineup. I’d love to see a couple freshmen get a lot of playing time as well.
I know things are tight trying to cram both Brown and Larson in the lineup but I think you have to have some continuity year over year. I know that’s not a popular take but I’d sacrifice some bat/defense to keep both Larson and brown in there unless someone else is significantly better.

I think a LHP would be a good add.

We’re carrying 3 right. If brown doesn’t pitch

Primeaux
Ware
Anderson.

if anderson earns a starting spot we get really thin there

I find it hard to believe they would try and get a C. My roster count has 25 position players and 18 pitchers. I can see them add a LHP if they see one fit. Will be interesting to see how the roster is managed going into the fall and then after fall when the December transfer window opens.

Feel like guys like Schmidt/Harden might be asked to stay in JUCO while guys like Mic Paul/Griffin Cooley/Dylan Thompson may have some decisions to make on if they stick around.

Harden would have been one had he come to LSU out of high school. He's still raw. Talented, but raw. The reps he could get in JUCO vs the sparing playing time he'd get next season at LSU could really help him take a leap.

100% agree and think that conversation will likely be had and maybe that is a reason that Jay didn't mention Harden by name like the others in the interview he had a month or so ago.

Leave that kind of nonsense on the rant, this is a safe space

I see Moss, Ebel, Young and Paz in most of those.

LSU has 3 really good SS committed. Young, Ebel and Ruckert. Gotta think one of them makes it to school.

I tell you what….on the way back to Nashville last night we passed the minor league stadium in Jackson, TN on interstate 40. There was like 12 people in the stands for the game. If I were CJJ I would take recruits to a minor league game immediately following a Friday night SEC game at The Box.

That life has to be brutal. Not even sure how you get excited to play baseball everyday.

Obviously if you are going in the first round or two then it is what it is but I’m really talking about the high school guys that might get 500k to sign. Go spend 2-3 years at LSU and have the time of your life.

Was just about to post this lol. Where’d that guy go?
Really excited about Larson and Brown next year
