For instance, do the tigers play at the level of a good Rookie league club? Low A ball? Higher A?
And where could you plug Bregman in right now and have him thrive?
Thanks TD Tim Kurkjians!

If they had to use wood, they'd be middle of the pack in rookie ball which is where most high schoolers go

A college all star team would probably compete with a middle of the road AA team. LSU would probably be a middle of the road single A team.

Thanks ell.

Yes A ball at best.

In a single game LSU could probably hold its own given there are pitchers on this team who will be drafted in the future. Over the course of a full season LSU would find themselves at the bottom of most A ball leagues.

and nope, LSU, like any other college team would get their asses handed to them on a daily basis in any minor league, the only place that they might log occaisional wins would be the instructional league, and it would only be because of lack of continuity for the pro team

I think that's a pretty incorrect statement. These aren't professional ballplayers in the same vein as college football and nfl.
Many many kids on those minors teams are high school prospects. Big time college baseball programs have guys that contribute all around.

there's a bigger gap than most realize between a college baseball player and and one that has been vetted as having major league potential, and there are guys that are awesome college players that couldn't be bat boys in the pros, granted, there are going to be some "fillers" in the minor leagues, just so that the prospects can get their reps in, but there's no way a college team would have day in day out success against pro ball players

I agree with this. As others have said, pitching would be the killer

i remember the Tigers playing the Zephyrs once.

This is true. In a single game with a professional bound pitcher on the mound LSU could account for themselves. However, there is little chance of them successfully competing for a full season.

Would lose 2of3 3 of every 4 times

Yes it is baseball, so a great pitching performance or a bad one from the pro would generate a win for the very good college team in A ball or lower. Over a season, the very good college team would be perhaps .375 at best. Double AA teams would have a field day against the top 20 college teams. They would be around .250- .275 at best.

You understand that elite prospects basically go straight to high A or higher, a la Aaron Nola, right? Rookie and Low A ball is where guys with, say, a good frame and a 91 MPH fastball out of high school but absolutely no other movement pitches and not much else going for them go to hopefully develop some skill. The farm system isn't anything like getting drafted into the NFL, LSU would pretty easily win against most teams in low A ball solely because of how polished our entire team is.

Ok stupid..
Posted on 5/13/15 at 2:36 pm to ell_13
Since half the team will never play in the minors I would give the edge to pro baseball every time

you have absolutely no basis in making that statement, and not a clue of what you're talking about, but this is the rant
, and using your Nola analogy as an example, him being the stud of college studs with legitimate big league potential being relegated to A ball ? the minors are full of guys with his potential, you just don't hear about them until they are major leaguers because they're honing they're skills down in the Caribbean, starting at about 4-5 years old

Laird, Stevie, Fraley, Hale, Bregs, Foster, Chinea, Sciv, Sciambra, Poche, Lange, Person, Bugg, Newman, Reynolds, Deichmann, Godfrey, Norman, Stallings will all play in the minors if they want to.

Well seeing as how I spent 2010 and 2011 in the minor leagues and didn't make it out of low A ball and I still have a solid 300+ friends in the farm system I'd say I'm pretty qualified to talk about it. How many low A ball games have you been to again? Want me to link you about 1000 other players that skipped low A ball that aren't as good as most of our starters? You have absolutely no clue how the farm system works so shut the frick up dumbass, it drives me crazy to see people like you pretend to be the authority on baseball when you have no experience with it
