Not arguing LSU should be awesome but it is also important at this point we note that you can't really take MLB Draft or Perfect game rankings into account for pitchers especially in terms of instant impact.
They are scouted relative to MLB potential not how good they will be in the SEC as a freshman.
For example with LSU Eric Walker was not a top-ranked prospect but Cole McKay was like a Top 50 prospect. A lot of the time it means nothing more than they can throw gas - but often times have no control, or no command of secondary pitches, etc. But high velo is going to make you a projectiable (overused term) 10/10 times.

quote:Yeah I agree on that. But if even 1 of 3 are a legit weekend level starter, plus what we already have, it will be great. Having a legit guy pitching mid-week would be fantastic.
