I don't think you can put any 1-5 up with LSU's.
If 6-9 produce how they did at their previous stops/how they did in the fall, then LSU should have the best offense in the country.
Catcher - Tyler McManus - double digit HR and .348 BA last year at Samford
SS - Jordan Thompson - 8 HR, hit .250, made freshman All-SEC
Then there's about 10 guys that will fight over the last outfield and DH spot. Based on Johnsons past, those players better be able to hit, or they won't be in the lineup.
ETA: What I think is really telling is that LSU is ranked anywhere from 3-10 in the polls, but has virtually no proven starting pitchers. It's ALL based on the offense. We will not be in many low scoring games this season.

Would be impressive if true, but he played at Samford, not Stanford.

It is why everyone is ranked high in the SEC West.
Ole Miss returns everyone from an offense that was #2 behind Arkansas in scoring last season. The Rebels led the SEC in team BA a season ago.
Arkansas brings back/in 75+ HR's from a season ago and the leagues #1 scoring offense and #1 OB% offense.
Mississippi State returns a ton on offense that was #3 in the league in scoring a year ago and won the National Title.
This is why all of the teams are ranked high. Ole Miss returns no weekend starting pitching, but every single offensive weapon from a year ago is back. Arkansas lost Kopps and a weekend starter, but return a shite ton of offensive power. Vanderbilt lost the top 2 starters in NCAA Baseball a season ago, but return a damn fine lineup that includes a dude that snagged 47 bags last season.
