Probably. Crews definitely. He’s proven his value for several years. Skenes still has to navigate the SEC but I think he’ll do very well.

Crews will be top 3. Skenes could go anywhere from 6 to 15

I can’t think of a better college pitcher since Stephen Strasburg.

He’s up there with Roger Clemens and Darren Dreifort.

Crews has done it for years. Skenes looks unstoppable but let’s see how it goes through sec play. Lots of baseball left to be played

I think crews is top 3 for sure. Skenes I can’t say so currently. Only seen him a Few games and since he doesn’t hit and do an Ohtani for us his limited just pitching for us it’s hard to say. He hasn’t faced anybody worth AF. I thought his value coming in was being able to pitch and hit and that’s not how he’s used here

Same. Crews is a bonafide star and IMO about as sure of a thing as you can get.

Skenes looks great BUT he's gotta do it week in and week out against the best of the best. Not a knock on him, he just hasn't the opportunity yet.

Skenes is as good as advertised so far, but the true test will be SEC play. As a reminder, Blake Money looked like a Friday night ace around this point last season.

Yea but Blake Money didn’t throw 100+ with wicked movement on his pitches. There’s your difference

They’re both top 5 talents in the upcoming MLB draft along with Dollander, Langford and Max Clark — Gonzalez probably starts that next tier

But this doesn’t necessarily guarantee you’ll be a top 5 pick in MLB. Teams oftentimes are looking to sign someone under slot to have more money to spend elsewhere.

The Rangers shocked everyone by taking Kumar Rocker third overall in 2022. They then used the money they saved to draft and sign the best high school pitching prospect in the 4th round for way over slot.

Money just hasn’t been the same since his injury. He was great against Oklahoma at Minute Maid and they ended up being the national runner up

Only one more week until we don't have to see this stupid comparison anymore. Money came back to earth last season in week 4 against mighty Bethune-Cookman.

Bro he’s had 3 starts against shite teams.

He’s looked great, but let’s let him face good competitions prior to crowning him Stephen Strasberg.

Here's an original thought.

Why not just sit back and relax. Enjoy having them around for this season and let that stuff take care of itself when the time comes?
