    Are we talking just overall talent as it translates to the MLB or their contributions at State? Graveman was the anchor starting pitcher on the national runner up team and contributed greatly to us reaching that final series. He logged big innings for us over a number of seasons. Hudson was used sparingly for two years before having one great season. He struggled in his regional start against SEMO that year and though he pitched well against Arizona in the Supers we still lost the game.

    For an All-Decade team give me the guy who logged way more competitive innings, and way more postseason (including deep Omaha run starts) accomplishments. Kendall Graveman > Dakota Hudson for this sort of recognition. Again, not basing it just on higher end talent or MLB ceiling. If that was the case Woodruff would be here.

    So renfroe wouldn't make it? He was basically one great year. Rooker was ok then blew up his jr year. Lots of guys just have one great year. Heck besides magnum and holder, nobody had 3 good years and not many had 2 out of those listed.

    My argument isn't because he only had one great year, my argument was his resume doesn't match Graveman's. What a retarded inference to make.....

    Retarded great comeback. Shouldn't you be on the bus to school? I'll take Hudson. No offense to Graveman

    Hudson had better stuff than Graveman, he just did. Now, it could certainly be argued that Graveman had the overall better career (I think he was 19-13 overall/8-5 his senior year) and Hudson did pitch sparingly his first two years but his junior year he was outstanding. He did lose to Arizona 1-0 in the Supers and was outdueled by Bobby Dalbec. That guy almost single handedly beat us in that Super.

    That's not the point of an all-decade team. It's about the accomplishments for your school. Brandon Woodruff has better stuff than both of them but I wouldn't put him on the all-decade team.

    Graveman's accomplishments over a whole career but especially 2013 far outweigh Hudson's 2016.

    Multiple seasons of significant contributions
    Huge LSU win after we started 0-2 in league play.
    Back to Back to Back SEC complete game wins over quality teams (Arkansas, Florida, Texas A&M)
    3-0 in the 2013 postseason and we won his other Omaha start.
