Wasn’t Shewmake projected more end-of-first than early-twenties?Originally Posted by nsacpi
Anyways, I’m sure they saved some money by only scouting in the state of Texas.

That kind of stuff happens more often than one would think. Scouts and scouting directors do fall in love with guys and often can't shake it.

Big difference between drafting prep pitchers and drafting polished college hitters.
This isn’t quite how I envisioned the draft going when I was dreaming of the Braves getting Abrams and Priester lol

I got nothing on this. I don’t see it. Maybe he can hit. He’s left handed. Maybe he grows into 6 “4. Maybe he doesn’t get out in his front foot and he hits for power.
I remember everyone hating soroka. I remember living allard.
So maybe this guy is good. I hate it now though
This place never disappoints. Lol
if nolan gorman were the pick last year we would’ve for sure heard whining from the usual suspects about how he projects to have major swing and moss issues.

yeah...maybe a slight reach
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Sounds like a dinosaur pick.
I'm cool with the Langeliers pick but Shewmake gets a big fat WTF.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Sounds like he may have to move to 2B because of his arm, so not sure about that.

Can we fire Brown please and bring back Bridges? We seriously spent the 9th and 21st picks on two hitters that don't project as above average bats. Shea is all defense with limited offensive profile. Shewmake is full of intangibles but has little to no pop and only stole 6 bases this year. Definitely sounds like guys you should be pick in the first. Smh. What a disaster of a draft.
Let’s go look back at some of your board contributions...
I thought that if they took a SS at #21, it would have been Gunnar Henderson. If at #60, I would have thought Anthony Volpe.

hey draft night is our chance to be even more idiotic than usual...we save our best material for it
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Lol!
Braves main question when sitting down with prospects isn’t what their goals are, and how they can help their franchise, it’s how much below slot will you really take?
There's no way with the name Braden Shewmake that he could ever be a good MLB player.

Yeah i'm not sure about this one, seems like a utility player.
