    Griffin Conine is 6/18 with a HR, 2 2Bs, 5 RBI, and 5 BBs in the early going including a strong opening series against Vandy.

    Nick Madrigal hurt his wrist on a slide at the plate last night - no word on how seriously but he's already been ruled out for the rest of the weekend.

    I was a bit surprised by your disdain for his return. I generally think Eric is a little better, but Kiley was always excellent and a asset to FG.

    I think I allowed my resentment of the Coppy/Hart FO to unfairly color my opinion of him.

    He may be a bit pozzy Brave (to be expected for a while), he may be a bit of a tool, and he may not produce much content, but he seems pretty competent overall.

    I usually keep tabs on BA, watch games on the Fox regional packages, and track any players I'm interested in through boxscores on their teams' websites.

    Would love it if Madrigal dropped to us.

    BA put out a new Top 10 on March 1.

    1. RHP Brady Singer | R-R | 6-5 | 180 | Florida | Blue Jays ’15 (2)

    2. LHP Shane McClanahan | L-L | 6-1 | 173 | South Florida | Mets ’15 (26)

    3. LHP Matthew Liberatore | L-L | 6-5 | 200 | Mountain Ridge HS, Riverdale, Ariz. | Arizona

    4. RHP Ethan Hankins | R-R | 6-6 | 215 | Forsyth Central HS, Cumming, Ga. | Vanderbilt

    5. SS Brice Turang | L-R | 6-1 | 165 | Santiago HS, Corona, Calif. | Louisiana State

    6. 3B Nolan Gorman | L-R | 6-1 | 210 | Sandra Day O’Connor HS, Phoenix | Arizona

    7. LHP Ryan Rolison | R-L | 6-2 | 195 | Mississippi | Padres ’16 (37)

    8. RHP Casey Mize | R-R | 6-3 | 208 | Auburn | Never Drafted

    9. SS/2B Nick Madrigal | R-R | 5-7 | 160 | Oregon State | Indians ’15 (17)

    10. OF Travis Swaggerty | L-L | 5-11 | 180 | South Alabama | Never Drafted


    It's a pitcher heavy group. I'm hoping Turang or Madrigal is available when we pick (at #8). If neither is there I'd go with a pitcher. Madrigal broke his wrist (hairline fracture) last week and will be out for a month. Hoping he is there when we pick.

    One of the pitchers that I really like is Kumar Rocker. His is absolutely massive and has really good stuff and is from Georgia. He seems like a Braves type of guy, but it may just not line up right for us to pick him.

    I’m really hoping for a position player to with Turang as my first choice and then Madrigal. I have a feeling we’ll go pitcher though

    Swaggerty is the guy I’m keeping an eye on. Seems like he’s climbing boards so far this season and fits us well as a college OF who can hit.

    Things just don’t seem to shake out so the Braves are in line to pick an impact corner bat.

    I’m guessing they get another college pitcher with their first pick.

    Thought AA was big on HS pitchers. Could be dreaming, but thought that was his preference

    Madrigal isn't someone you take that early in the draft. Sure, there are examples of small guys playing up. But it's long odds.

    I like Gorman, Turang, Kelenic, Eierman right now or Hankins (if he drops) right now.

    I like guys with multiple paths to success. Guys with the hit tool AND the ability to play a premium defensive position. So Turang and Madrigal are the guys I'm hoping we take. I like them more than someone like Gorman or Conine.
