    we have no indication that's the case tho. seems like he was likely, plainly, their guy.

    True enough. It surely seems that way.

    I don’t quite understand why, but that’s neither here nor there.

    My big concern with Shewmake is that he did not improve offensively while at TAMU. Sort of suggests a lack of upside, but I guess his scrawny frame is the hope.

    Oh, that essentially changes everything. The Braves didn’t really go to either extreme through Day 2, so at that point it was unclear that they were going to go so prep-heavy on Day 3. Without that information, this draft seems quite different.

    if he was apparently also a guy the Rays were targeting, I feel pretty good. we'll never know if that's the case of course.

    Klaw was on the bbtn podcast today. He highlighted Atlanta as a successful draft.

    Apparently they did work on a strategy of saving money early and signing high upside guys on Day 3. It will be very interesting to see who actually signs.
