I love listening to the third day of the draft. You'd swear you're in a bingo parlor with the names being rattled off so fast like B-6 and O-63.

Vaughn Grissom PG page: https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/...aspx?ID=407062
Vaughn Grissom was our 11th rounder. Good reviews on Twitter--
Vaughn Grissom played with Riley Greene. He's an interesting infielder with some offensive and defensive tools. Probably a 3B but some power potential with a swing tweak.
Vaughn Grissom has had a really good spring from an offensive standpoint. Should stick somewhere in the dirt, likely 2B fit, but can hit. Played on Riley Greene’s HS team this spring. #Braves
Kiley on Grissom: "Probably 3B long term, but solid avg raw, athlete, feel to hit, we like him"
Wow, Grissom is actually 106 on Fangraphs' overall board: "Teammate of Riley Greene has been scouted a lot right when he came on this spring. He's a likely third baseman with solid average tools and good actions that can start in pro ball at shortstop." That means he's our third highest pick on their board behind Langeliers and Shewmake.
One Andy Samuelson coming up: http://www.wvcwarriorathletics.com/s...lson_andy_70ul
i'm glad the front office is mixing in some high schoolers among the lottery tickets they are buying
Could be, but these guys can always jump their initial commitment and go the JUCO route ala Carter Stewart if they view themselves as a late-riser. I'm just thinking they went $200,000 or $300,000 over to land Matt Rowland a few years back and that might be a scenario here.
Samuelson's first stop was Valparaiso (didn't play his freshman year) before transferring to Wabash Community College. Braves have always tended to follow the Illinois JUCO circuit pretty hard.
Love the names. Twins do not go gently into that good night by drafting Hawaii University RHP Dylan Thomas in the 13th round.
