Where does Anderson fit into the Braves system? Outside the top 5?
Not very impressed with the pick at #3.
I'd love to see Collins fall to us but I doubt he does.
Where does Anderson fit into our top prospects
Get off my lawn!
What has Groome done for all these people saying he has makeup issues?
Such a gamble to play this game though. Other teams have multiple picks and large draft pool that could derail this strategy. I wish they would have just taken Lewis. I don't think there's much argument that Groome, Puk, Lewis, Pint appear to be better talents.

The more I think about it, the more disappointed I am. You suffer through the season the Braves did, your reward is a top pick to get a premium talent. We didn't do that

Marlins taking Braxton Garrett. I am high on this kid, and his name came up as a possible Braves pick at 3.
I'm fine with the pick based on his latest scouting report. Three plus pitches with mid 90's velocity, deceptive but repeatable delivery and advanced control/command for his age. I don't think it's absurd that the Braves had this guy on top of their pitching board. Sounds like top of the rotation potential to me.
thank you weso1!

I was super high on Markakis when he was drafted, alas we had no shot to draft him. I remember a lot of teams wanted him as a pitcher.
