    June Rule IV pre-draft Thread

    With the Braves expected haul out of this year's June draft, there will be various things of import in these days leading up. Let's start with this key question from today's Baseball America draft chat:


    Patrick (Lake Forest, CA): For the first time in a while, my Braves are in a position to really do something significant in the draft. I feel as though they are one of a few teams that could potentially move some money around due too their large bonus pool and pick up one of the pitchers that have fallen due to injuries. Do you see this happening or is it more likely they will just use the picks to add depth to a pretty poor system? Thanks!

    Teddy Cahill: The Braves active offseason included the acquisition of some extra draft picks and they now hold five of the first 75 selections. That has greatly increased their bonus pool and puts them in a position to be creative in this draft. I think grabbing an injured pitcher (or any other player who slides on draft night) is certainly possible. There’s also a bumper crop of talent in the Atlanta area. The Braves have a long history of success in drafting Georgia high school players. This would be a good year to revisit that strategy as well.
