Exactly. It was set up nicely. I just don't get not signing kimbrel and crying about pool money unless you know you can get high upside now in round 2? I need Brian Bridges...lol.Originally Posted by TheBravos

I hope the Braves see something more than Shewmake's frame in thinking he'll develop power. He's 6-4 and skinny as a rail so you think he should add bulk and thus power. But that swing makes me think he's never going to tap into any power he might add. Looks like a slap hitter who sacrifices driving the ball for bat control.
After the Lango pick I expected a risky arm at 21. Fine, his floor is a backup catcher, and his ceiling is an average-ish bat with Grandal type defense.
I can’t folkow the logic of the Shew pick no matter how open minded in try to be.
There goes my guy Wallner
Yeah...this just isn't the best maximization of assets IMHO. Braves don't care..just thought if you go Shea...you swing for the fence. The Braves bunted..
I was hoping he’d last until the Braves 2nd round pick.
Hopefully Gabe from the AJC can dig up a good explanation from the FO (I’m assuming it’s got to be trackman metrics related).
They bunted and missed the pitch and struck out...
Glad to see that BJ Upton put all that cash to good use. Announcing picks for the Rays
Watching the interviews with Dana Brown. Guy looks like a deer in the headlights. Honestly sounded like an idiot trying to explain why they like Shewmake. It was like a salesman saying I should buy a car because it's a great shade of blue.
I didn't say the results but yeah...this! 👎
The Shew pick reminds me a lot of the Lipka pick.
No matter what we say we are armchair GM enthusiasts...but you cursed my name bringing up Lipka...Lmao. We sure can pick em. Lol
Damn, was hoping Henderson would slide.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Yeah, it was like he was just making crap up.
Exactly my impressions. Dude seemed clueless and grasping for straws.
I take it back that Dana Brown sounded like an idiot. Trying to explain Shewmake he honestly looked and sounded like a guy who is having his worst nightmare come to life. It was like all that was going through his mind was "AA is gonna be so mad".
Watching that again makes me wonder if our draft strategy got nuked somehow and we panicked and picked Shewmake.
I’ve been watching the sec tournament for 30 years. Going 2/6 against Casey Mize is a dumbass reason to tout someone.

Here's a comp for Shewmake ... Matt Lipka.
Not gonna lie though, taking two (alleged) low ceiling college players sounds like the Frank Wren era of drafting. I'm a Wren apologist, but it's no secret that his drafts were...pretty not great.
