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

    New thread to talk about the draft as it unfolds. Runup thread is too bulky to continue.


    Please let it be Lewis.

    Thanks, rico. I've said I'll talk myself into anyone we take, and that continues to be true. I've now talked myself into Anderson at 3 if we take him. I still do want Lewis, though.

    I like Anderson, but another pitcher it is.

    I wonder if we can go 162-0 with 162 1-0 wins?

    He's a projected number three guy though.

    This is a serious, serious reach. When you draft third you should be getting a top talent, not a right handed high schooler who had a couple good starts at the end of the season but will need a ton of time and a bit of luck to develop.

    Terrible value at 3. Not at all what you want to see.

    Draft is a crapshoot always. So saving money here could pay off. But man it's tough to pass on Lewis when he seems BPA and fills needs

    I hate the idea of saving money. Weve cut payroll in the major team, and now in draft picks. Braves are a small market team now.

    Is this your first MLB draft?

    Dude, we're not saving money to save money. We're going to spend it later.

    Dont give up hope. Maybe the DBacks will take Lewis for us.
