Do you know how many great baseball players we’ve had here over the last 20 years?


we have a pretty good track record of our AA making the MLB

especially since college bats cooled down a bit and guys were just popping 40 HR a game.

1st rounders that didn’t at least have a cup of coffee in the show are pretty rare.

and All-Americans

I think he can have a career similar to David Eckstein

what really stands out to me about milam as a defender is how fast the transfer is.

He gets the ball out his glove and to 1st2nd so fricking fast.

it’s what made him such a good swing man at 2nd last year.

i’m a huge fan of his at SS so far

Not sure he has the size for long term MLB success.

Think back on some of the all-time LSU greats and consider how many of them didn't sniff at a MLB roster.

Like Hunter Feduccia?

These 2 are polar opposites in terms of 2b. Monster is somewhere in the middle - probably a lean to the Altuve side of the spectrum.

While the homer in me wants to think he will be the next Altuve, I think his ceiling is lower. I will however be gladly mistaken

Hopefully he goes to Houston as Bregman did.

Houston already has a downtown street named after him.

There are 2 players on LSU's current roster that will eventually start in MLB. He is one of them.

Are you talking just position players? or pitchers also?

The Team. But both I'm speaking of are position players.

Milam
Curiel

Will be on MLB rosters eventually.

I was going to say Jones or Curiel as position players and Anderson as the pitcher

He is Omar Visquel without all of the theatrics.

It’s true, soooo hard to make the professional ranks in any sport. I’m guilty along with any sports fan in the world of watching games or matches. I’m quick to say that guy ain’t worth a shite, knowing there’s only 1% of the human race can be a pro. Except in the case of Bronny, LeBrags son.

That’s how I feel about all of them. Just enjoy the time they are on campus and if they make it… tune in.

A few of them have some good chances. They will have to prove it in the minors. Milam and Curiel are locks imo.
