    Cody Milligan was a USM recruit and I'm pretty bummed about losing him. He was supposed to be a catcher for us with a BIG TIME bat at the collegiate level. Not sure if he'll translate to the pros or not.

    Prescott’s a cool town, especially the outskirts (pronunciation shibboleth: it’s prés-cut not press-cót); I ****ing love Flagstaff (which twins with Missoula in some weird ways); Crown King is an awesome old mining outpost south of Prescott, nestled in the Bradshaw mountains, but well worth the two-hour drive on dirt roads; Pine/Strawberry, up on the Mogollon Rim, is also really nice for a day-trip into the ponderosa forests. If you’re headed in the latter direction, Petrified National Forest is pretty amazing (though the closest town, Holbrook, decidedly isn’t).

    It’s the other end of the state, but Bisbee—in the south-eastern highlands—is really tremendous as well.

    Been in the car for a few hours and missed out on some stuff. Came back and first thing I saw was JP post the JuCo superhero stats. I like it. Hope I get to see him later this season.

    Hit fewer homers but improved his bb/k as a sophomore: .359/.512/.739, with 14 hr, but 35 bb (and 16 hbp) to 36 k in 207 PA.

    Talking Chop was speculating that we drafted Philip specifically because we don't want to sign him so we can't get the 61st pick next year. That'd be pretty odd, but I think its pretty clear at this point that the Braves were not huge fans of this draft class.

    Doesn’t really make sense to do that with a guy who was way over-drafted, since you have to offer at least 40% of slot. If that’s the plan, you’d draft Leiter or one of the other impossible signs, so I don’t buy it at all.

    Yeah I agree... that's a bizarre reasoning

    Not to mention if they didn’t want the pick then sign a Kimbrel and unload it on someone else, and strengthen your pen for the first 1/3 of the season. Not wanting the pick is some serious conspiracy suggestions. Doubt it’s true.

    well signing kimbrel would’ve lost them the slot money which would foil that hypothetical plan.

    Wouldn't not signing Philip also lose the slot money?

    Indeed. $1.16 million out of the pool if Philip isn't signed.

    Great slow mo video of Shewmake's swing. It's an interesting swing. It's like he's throwing his bat at the ball.
