Should LSU be included on this list? Sure. But he's ranking the players on what they did in the majors. Frick ESPN, but I'd say it's a decent list.

It is a list based on the best MLB WAR lineups that a given college can produce. That's it. It has nothing to do with college production.

It’s a ranking of best lineups by what they did in MLB. LSU doesn’t have a lot of former players that have had successful MLB careers.

They did it by MLB WAR LSU hasn't had many quality big Leaguers to put up enough WAR

There is no problem with that list or how it was compiled.
It's ironic, though, the 5th ranked team, San Diego St (Mark Grace, Tony Gwynn, Stephen Strasburg) has never been to the CWS.

I was waiting for someone to post about that article.

Looks like theyre going by the biggest MLB names. By this measurement, Southern might have a better all star team than LSU. Lou Brock, Rickie Weeks, and Danny Goodwin (only player to be selected #1 overall twice in the MLB draft. think his career was derailed by injuries.)
The best pro careers from LSU are who? Albert Belle, Ryan Theriot?

The same reason lsu isnt on this list in baseball is the reason why basketball tops this list
Ironic isnt it

Using those 15 names and the website Baseball Reference LSU would have a WAR of 207.3, which is tied for #15, so not sure how we got left off
Baseball Reference
ETA: Ok, probably was the way they chose the 15 players that kept LSU out of the top 15, 8 position players, a DH, a bench player, and 5 pitchers

Al Dark's WAR is 43.1 and Joe Adcock's WAR is 33.3.
I guess they didn't include older guys (or maybe they did?)

Also, the cutoff of 1965 drops off one of LSU's best players: Alvin Dark.

Joe Adcock's last season was 1966 according to baseball reference. Wonder if he was included?
