I would love to see a write up from Mackey Plyler on each of these players.

Stats, what they meant to their team, and who they remind him of from recent teams would be a good start.

In all seriousness, I would love to see a write up from Tigernet diving a little deeper into this.

Also maybe an opinion on what might should change from guys with a little more local knowledge.

Side note: I know Rusty Adkins through a family member of mine who played with him. He was asked to speak at a baseball camp I attended when I was young. He was given a slot of time to talk about his approach to hitting and what made him so good. He stood up and proceeded to lay out his entire process for the young players.

"I found a bat that felt good, I looked for a good pitch to hit, and I swung hard."

He then sat down.

When I was older I asked him about it. He was not blowing off the appearance in any way. That's really all he did as a hitter. He said the easier you make it, the easier it is.

It's a tough line-up that omits Denny Walling, Tim Tuefel, and Jimmy Key.

I'm going with Billy O'dell as the starting pitcher.

I agree with Billy O'dell. Not only did he have a better ERA, he did exceptionally well for years in the major leagues directly out of Clemson.

Michael Johnson has to be at 1B........

Re: TNET: NCAA.com names Clemson all-time starting lineup


Feb 27, 2019, 2:22 PM

I went with

1 Greene SS
2 Beer OF
3 Baker 3B
4 Monahan OF
5 Adkins 2B
6 M Johnson 1B
7 Lecroy C
8 McMillon OF
9 Davidson originally went with Krieger but gotta get Davidson in the mix!

1B Michael Johnson
2B Rusty Adkins
SS Khalil Greene
3B Jeff Baker
C Matt Lecroy
OF Shane Monahan
OF Billy McMillan
OF Seth Beer
DH Kris Harvey

All the same pitchers. It's hard to keep Brad Miller off there. I almost wanted to put him at 2B for Adkins but since he didn't play there i would be cheating

Agree about Miller, but Adkins has his name


Feb 28, 2019, 7:23 AM

on the fence. He's a no brainer, IMO.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

looked up krieger after you mentioned him


Feb 27, 2019, 3:13 PM [ in reply to Re: TNET: NCAA.com names Clemson all-time starting lineup ]

his numbers look good in the minors so far, had one bad year when he got moved up to AA but seemed to bounce back. looks promising for the young man. if he can keep his numbers around .270, and be a reliable shortstop, he could be getting a call.

Billy McMillan was good but come on
Neil Simons was one of the best to ever play at CU. Guys that pick these teams are usually young and don’t remember anyone before the 80s

Billy O'Dell lasted the longest in the Majors I think?


Feb 27, 2019, 3:54 PM

Baltimore top lefty reliever for years then traded to San Francisco for his last couple...
