    That's just it.. I don't think the Braves believe there is that, for sure "can't miss" elite talent in this draft, therefore, they're going in this direction. If there was that elite talent, the strategy could have been employed differently.

    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.

    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.

    That's fair, but I'm hearing the analysis of the ceilings of some of these top projected picks, and they obviously have tools a cut above

    #4 behind Allard. Maybe 3rd if Allard's season goes like his first start did.

    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

    I asked the same thing. I don't think he even cracks the top 5. Not great for pick #3....

    Marlins taking Braxton Garrett. I am high on this kid, and his name came up as a possible Braves pick at 3.

    He definitely has an ace ceiling.

    Sure seems that way. Hope I'm wrong.

    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.

    I don't see the upside at all for Senzel. Questionable defense and no power.

    If you want a comp, look at Zack Cox from Arkansas.
