Travinski could dh if he kept getting better and so could white probably but it would take a lot of minor league abs and dedication

Skenes would be Oakland's ace right now


lol. No. The A's 3rd pitcher is a young guy, 22 yrs old. Throws 100. Their ace is JP Sears, whos a legit MLB ace

Well, we’d have to hit, so there’d be that.

Of course they can it’s happened many times over the years in baseball. Now over a course of a season their record would be horrible.

Yes!

And 2019 LSU football could beat the Saints.

Better chance than football. But the A's, by definition, have 25 major league players on their roster. We don't have anywhere near that.

I would say basketball has the biggest gap. It is like they are playing different games.

Respectfully disagree. Lebron straight skipped college & was an immediate difference maker.

Paul Skenes may be one of the best college pitchers in history of the sport & he still won’t be a starter out the gate.

Baseball arguably doesn’t require the same level of athleticism and conditioning as a sport like basketball, but in terms of skill and attention to detail the game is the most difficult of the big three.

So if 80% don’t make it you saying 20% will? 40 man roster so you saying 8 current LSU players will make the big leagues? Not A AA AAA ball, we talking MLB games? 1) Crews 2) Skenes 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) Go ahead and give 6 more that make it. I’m not seeing 10% much less 20%



I was going to say 90% at first, but hadn’t followed that closely. Wasn’t sure if we have anyone thats a freshman or sophomore that might turn into a big league player
