    Yeah he was projected as a top fine pick and has leverage this season or next. I'm sure he has a big number. Wouldn't think he is in play now.

    Oh, I thought he was already a RS JR. Starting to get to the point where I'd have signability concerns with him then. Still, we were connected to him recently, could be a shot there if we punt rounds 4-10.

    Worth it, imp. All comes down to whatever his number is.

    Interesting players still available:

    Blayne Enlow - Highest measured spin rate in the class, something the Dodgers and Cubs love
    Tristan Beck - probably won't sign at this point
    Mason House - Big toolsy OFer, high risk

    I don't see the money being there for him.

    Other guys of interest:

    Nick Allen: prep SS. Been on scouts radars forever. Smaller guy at 5'9, but projects to be a Gold Glove level SS according to a bunch of scouts. Good hit tool and speed, but basically no power. Think Nick Ahmed but better at the plate.

    Jacob Heatherly: prep LHP with plus command and low effort, simple delivery. Fastball touches mid 90s. Questions about the quality of his offspeed depending on your source.

    Riley Adams: catcher out of UCSD. Basically think Brett Cumberland 2.0.

    Tanner Burns: prep RHP with 2 plus pitches in his fastball and slider. Sits mid 90s. Only 6'0 without much projection left, and the delivery is pretty high effort.

    Evan Skoug: catcher out of TCU. Plenty of raw power and a good batting eye, with a medium chance to stick behind the plate. Some swing and miss to his game, and again could move off of C at the next level.

    Just crunching the numbers really quick, if we punted rounds 4-10 (signed 6 guys for 25 k, 1 for 10k) we'd have just over 1.6 mil extra for our pool. With our 3rd pick being worth just over 700k, we'd be able to give him 2.3 mil total. So it would be fairly iffy probably, particularly if Waters is signing for slightly over slot. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

    Garrett Mitchell is also available, Baseball America's #62 overall, high school OF.

    I hope we can grab Enlow.

    I always do my own shadow draft bit this time around I will post it to give Enscheff some more ammo. Can't watch the draft live but the only difference would be that I won't take pitchers drafted by a few teams like Royals, Rockies, and DBacks. Royals because their player development system is a joke and the other two because of their home park situation.


    If I was drafting I would have taken....

    #5 - P. Shane Baz - I would rank him behind only Greene/Lewis/Gore. Tons upside and I think a relatively high floor. Getting him on an underslot deal is a nice bonus.


    #41 - 3B Mark Vientos - I get his stock has slipped but he is super young. He has #1 overall skill set. More than happy to roll the dice on his upside. Probably needs an overslot deal to sign him but we would have plenty from the first pick. Highly tempted to take Waters but Vientos's upside is hard to pass on.


    Going forward I am hoping Nick Allen or Tanner Burns is there for our next pick.

    Scout told me this spring, "I think Drew Waters can be a star." Lots to like about this kid. Right in the #Braves backyard.

    Asking price.

    Really glad the Braves went through the front door and didn't try to get too cute. Looks like we got two solid prospects. Never can tell of course, but I like what I've read about these guys.

    It would be real amusing if the draft that all Brave fans liked the most of the last 3 years ended up being the worst.

    Such a crap shoot. I'm happy that we got highly regarded guys and I obviously always defer to the Braves scouts but the consensus is worrying me around here!

    I like Wright's teammate Will Toffey quite a bit too as a pick in the next couple of rounds. Very good defensive 3b with a pretty good hitting profile.

    Maybe in 5. 3 is definitely too early, and 4 may be as well. There are still guys with a much better overall tool package left.

    I'm more excited for the draft to end so we can start compiling farm system rankings. I'm really intrigued to see where people rank Wright. I think he's probably after Albies, Acuna and Allard -- but that's me!
