I like this guy Carter Stewart around that first round pick.

Good to see MLBPipeline has 50+ guys with a FV of 50+ haha.
FG has 12 guys at FV 50+: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/...t?type=0&team=
With picks 9 and 21 there is a chance the Braves could punt enough other picks to get 2 of those top guys, or punt all picks but #9 and get Rutschman to fall if he is still the consensus top guy.
Gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess that most of those FV will change. Its outright ridiculous to use FV for prospects on the upper minors and draft picks. Also going to assume the Braves scouts dont agree on a lot of fangraphs rating. Why should teams even have scouts if fangraphs ratings are so great.

Best available is the way to go, but biggest need overall is probably SS, C, SP in that order.
I don't know much about the draft. It is very complicated with the money games and the comparisons between college and Hs kids.
I do think this is a critical draft because we have 2 first round picks, no first round pick last year and I don't think we'll be drafting high for a while.
Pipeline's early mock had us taking Brennan Malone at #9.
Kinda like Will Holland at #22 - need to continue getting SSs in the system behind Dansby. Matthew Lugo might be a better fit as one since he's a high schooler, but might be a reach at #21 and may have to move off the position - Holland's plenty good enough defensively to stick there.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
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?
BA's first full 1st Round mock is out, and yes...wait for it...arms at #9 AND #21.

Rutschman appears to be separating himself as the clear #1, but there are 7 FV 50s and a 45+ trending up just below him...all position players. The 6-9 guys are all OFers. Here is FG's TLDR for each of the 4:
Carroll CF - Do-everything CF without prototypical size.
Greene RF - fits the mold of the classic power bat right fielder with an advanced hit tool, like Alex Kirilloff or Trevor Larnach in recent drafts.
Busch LF - Stiff but well-built, power-hitting corner outfielder.
Misner - Missed much of 2018 with nagging foot issue, sat out the summer so is being heavily scouted for the first time. Has 70-grade raw power, runs well for a corner fit, peripherals drastically improved compared to frosh season. Will play CF and 1B this spring but is likely a RF in pro ball.
Based on the tiny amount of info available right now, I like Greene and Misner at 9. Greene seems to be projected for a better bat, but Misner is closer and profiles to have more raw power.
