What a terrible, terrible, terrible pick
What a terrible, terrible, terrible pick
Well, it is Shea. We do need a catcher though, system is barren there.
Well...
The Braves got the bat they like. Not my favorite, but at least it's a bat. Video appears to indicate he will be a great framer.
Now my hope is one of Manoah/Priester/Allan/Rutledge fall to 21.
Any chance we could go under slot with Shea and float a better bat down to 21? That would soften the blow a good bit for me.

Haha... why does everyone hate Langeliers?
i will not pretend that this is an awful pick as if i know how these guys will turn out. i liked the sound of carroll tho.

That’s what I’m wondering. Need to know what he’s signing for.Originally Posted by BeanieAntics
Not a great endorsement of contreras if we used a hugh first round pick on a catcher.
They blew 2018 and have started off 2019 in a very poor way.
idk, i’m not going to jump on the bandwagon now but people who only read scouting reports like to pretend they know a whole lot more than they do

Best defensive catcher and best arm. I think we need to hit a home run with the second pick.
means basically nothing.

Dan O'Dowd just said there might have been guys available with more upside, which I think is the most critical thing anyone on this broadcast has said all night.
I mean, I don't really put much weight on what Dan O'Dowd says, to be sure.

Guy from MLB Network just said that Langeliers comes in and is automatically the best catcher in our system.
Not this non hitting catcher smh! Waste of a pick!
I like the idea of an elite defensive catcher
It seems a lot of folks don't like the bat, and see him as a defense only catcher...possibly a backup.
Others think the hamate injury was affecting him quite a bit, and he's going to hit more than his detractors think.
Me? As long as it was a position player I can't complain too much. Hoping to see an impact arm at 21.
A little nervous to have this guy on the Braves plane.
thank you weso1!

Because the track record of taking catchers with his profile in this portion of the draft is pretty poor.
IF he's a legit elite framer (which I think he is given our FO seems to prioritize this), then he doesn't have hit a lot to be a great player.
