DRAFT IN PROGRESS THREAD ... What's past is preamble

[SidSlid92]

Groome and Lewis gone. So there goes that plan. Be interesting to see how this plays out now. Got a feeling we are going to be none too happy

[CrimsonCowboy]

Red Sox didn't play games. They took BPA and said to hell with it. Probably blew someone's plans.

Red Sox are one of the few organizations who can do that.

[thewupk]

Yeah hitting .220 this year, should have kept him and paid him 200 million obviously.

If that's the case how do you feel about the team paying a .250 hitting 1B with bad defense 20 million a year?

[bravesfanforlife88]

Does Groome sign or go to college?

Six have cash and very few picks, he'll sign

[DaneHill]

So what's the most realistic estimate for Anderson's eta in Atlanta -- 2019?

[Enscheff]

Guys, Anderson isn't a top 10 talent. Again, there's a reason he's signing way, way under slot. He's a high schooler who could easily go to Vandy and word is he's still gonna sign under slot. And we're not talking just a little under slot, we're talking ridiculously under slot.

Before pick slotting there's no way he goes in the top 10.

We will see real soon which top 25 guys start to fall that the Braves may have targeted at 40/44.

[thewupk]

They better care. It either means their draft hinges completely on one player or they won't end up with a 1st round pick this year.

You think Groome sticks to his 5 million demand and turns down a guaranteed 3.1 million if not more?

Exactly. Acting like they think Anderson was BPA is dumb.

Not my money. Thats my thoughts.

You've got to read everything you can about these guys -- not just the stuff that supports your position. We know why he wasn't higher earlier -- he was sick, he was in bad New York weather -- the last month, he was arguably the most effective high school pitcher. Doesn't mean he's top 10 -- it means he COULD be.

[Braves1976]

You mean like Will Benson?

I have heard he may go to Texas at 30th overall. But they like a few other Georgia bats too and with Perez falling I could see them taking him too.

[striker42]

So what's the most realistic estimate for Anderson's eta in Atlanta -- 2019?

2020 would be aggressive. 2021 or 2022 would be more realistic.

May end up costing them their 1st round pick next year.

So your making the case that a player that was ranked #13 by the "Experts" had no chance to go top 10 if not for the signing pool system?

[mfree80]

Yup. Lots of good players still undrafted. The Draft last three days!!!!!!

[thewupk]

Heyward is a good player having a poor year. Those are my thoughts. Good players get 20 million on the open market. That's a fact.

[Heyward]

Who on this board said he was?

Law and many others had him in the top 10 but guess you're right

[braves31win]

Groome to Boston

Lol

So Boston who has less to spend than Washington drafts him? Defies logic. BTW I know how slots pools work ****-tards. This isn't new

[cajunrevenge]

I do. Supposedly has a big ego. Wont be surprised if he goes to college.
