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

[CrimsonCowboy]

Although I have to question a guy who is willing to sing Taylor Swift on TV

[Enscheff]

So much for Trammell

[striker42]

You wouldn't consider Trammell a really good use of the savings? Seeing the way the draft has gone, meaning we know a guy like Kieboom won't be there, I'd say that would be really, really nice.

40 seems about right for Trammel. A good pick but not a steal made possible by having tons of money left over from Anderson. I might go a little over slot but not crazy on Trammel.

I am a big fan of Anderson but it's hard not to like what the Reds did getting Senzel and Trammel

[cajunrevenge]

Does Tommy know where he is?

Yep. I'll just say this - I really hope we truly believe Anderson is the best pitcher in this draft.

Someone give Tommy Lasorda a 5 Hour Energy

Yep. I'll just say this - I really hope we truly believe Anderson is the best pitcher in this draft.

Lets just hope he is a top of the rotation starter. I dont care what other players do.

Was he trying out for the walking dead? :)

This is a nightmare draft. So much flexibility by reaching at 3, so few options to spend it on.

[cajunrevenge]

Only 1 more until we get to a future Brave.

Yep, it just gets worse and worse.

[smootness]

We're probably getting Wentz.

[CrimsonCowboy]

We're probably getting Wentz.

I'd take that

[Hudson2]

Ok take Wentz now Braves!

[smootness]

Law says Wentz at 40 and Horn at 44. Haha we're never going to draft a bat.

[Enscheff]

Has to be Wentz. Good value, but another pitcher. Seriously?

[cajunrevenge]

Dangit, I hate college outfielders.

[rico43]

Hoping for Nolan Jones.

Horn has added strength to his athletic 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame and has taken Northern California's prep ranks by storm this spring after pitching in the Area Code Games the last two summers. A California commit, Horn evokes comparisons physically to pitchers from Gerrit Cole to Brad Penny, and while he doesn't have Cole's upper-90s fuel at the same stage of development, he pitches with some of the aggression that marked both big league righthanders. He has energy in his delivery abut has body control and throws quality strikes with a lively mid-90s fastball that regularly reaches 96. Horn's changeup and breaking ball remain inconsistent and well behind his fastball, though his changeup has had its moments and his curveball shows proper spin and power at times
