The Stros are my team too and i don't want Stanek, but he has been talked about as a possible 1st pitcher taken at times this year.

This is a joke right?

Stanek is the real deal. Doesn't mean we've gone flat. (SMFH)

Meh Fitt has pretty much stayed with Appel or Gray all year.

I've been concerned this may happen for a few weeks now. I hope not.

What concerns me is LSU scoring in the 1st inning and then "losing focus" at bat. I've always liked making the opposing pitcher throw lots of pitches to wear them down. All too often, LSU batters aren't that patient.

Overall, I don't believe we've put too much stock in the SEC tournament and are waiting to host in the NCAA tournament.

I never said he wasn't or we have

I just think Gray is a better prospect.

We just can't hit good pitching. Let's hope there's none of that in Omaha.

I see no way Stanek goes before Appel or Gray, but that doesn't change the fact that people are being shockingly absurd.

I think his weaknesses are magnified at the next level.....he just seems like a highly picked pitcher that spends 4-6 years in AA trying to figure out how to pitch in the big leagues.

The Stros need a draft pick at 1 that is going to contribute in 3 years-ish.....if they are as committed to their current plan as they say they are. Now if they are just trying to make/save money then they might as well draft Stanek. IMO.

So, you came up with this thought after our lineup got stumped by a 1st round draft choice and possibly the best pitcher in the conference?

You tards must never have played. Good pitching shuts down good hitters all day. Stanek is one of the better pitchers in the country. LSU didn't bring their A game today. Doesn't mean crap right now.

I played a lot from age 4-18.

For the most part this is true.....however I think the truly great hitters can hit just about any pitcher. Now LSU may not have any great hitters.....but we don't have many patient hitters either.

Never said different. I just think there are better pro prospects out there.

Probably true.

Definitely true.
