Braves pick 5th, 41st, 80th, 110th, 140th, etc.
Should be some draft icing on the cake with those first two picks.

So what two pitchers are we looking at for the 5th and 41st picks?
Braves1976 (01-26-2017), cajunrevenge (01-23-2017), Coach_Chris (01-22-2017), FreemanFan (01-26-2017), Hawk (01-25-2017), Julio3000 (01-23-2017), sturg33 (01-22-2017), The Chosen One (01-23-2017), UNCBlue012 (01-23-2017)
I'm hoping a stud bat will emerge and is available but I have a feeling it'll be the top HS pitcher on the board.
I would ask if there are any names we're considering, but Ian Anderson came out of the blue last year so what's the point?
thank you weso1!
Man. This system is about to be INSANE. It's already stacked as it is!
I like a lot of college arms in this draft and think that's our best bet if Kendall goes before 5 as most expect. It would create an interesting situation though. If we draft Faedo or Wright as SEC arms that have dominated that caliber of competition, I'd imagine they should be started in Double A in 2018. That puts them right on track with Allard, Soroka, Touki, Sanchez and Gohara. Awful crowded in that timeline, but obviously best available is still the way to go in the draft.

I fully expect us to take pitchers with the first 2 picks. And I am okay with that.

It's just going to depend on how things shake out. There's absolutely no way to predict what we'll take right now. If there were a bat we felt was worth the #3 pick last year, I'm sure we would have taken them.
Junior college seasons start next week in the South and college seasons a week or so later. Get out the radar guns and keep your pencils sharp and notebooks handy.

Just the Tarheel in me, but Bukauskas would be a favorite target personally - worst-case scenario could have Weigel setting him up as soon as Johnson's deal is up.

Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Looking forward to following this. Our system is amazing as is. The fact that we get to add some top flight 'spects to it makes me giddy
JJ Schwartz at 5?
