    I would assume it breaks down tremendously after you exit the universe of well known players.

    Those pubs have good reporting but the idea that some guy that was a volunteer blogged for taking chip is now a talent expert is silly.

    BA usually vastly overrates the triangle area prospects / acc because they see them a lot.

    Twins draft Anthony Prato in the 7th round. Dalyn breaks out in a cold sweat before realizing the last names are spelled differently.

    Bryse Wilson is an example of who I have in mind. Not a high profile player coming out of high school. Taken in round 4. Required a bonus over 1M to entice him away from a scholarship.

    A player who many other teams haven’t heard of and may or may not have a scholarship to Elon should have zero leverage with a top-five round pick.

    But Wilson was on a lot of people's radar. I think he was a Top 100 guy a few places.

    Maybe a guy like Paolini is a tough sign because he believes going to Elon will raise his draft profile. If the Braves were only one of a handful of teams in on him, he may think, "Everyone will be in on me now." Tough call for the player.

    I guess my point is that with a guy like Paolini, the Braves have probably gauged his bonus needs before drafting him and wouldn't have drafted him if they didn't believe he would sign at a reasonable price. I think the same thinking was in place for Bryse Wilson.

    Named “Darius Vines” and a JUCO transfer from Yavapai CC, very near my old wine-stomping grounds. So this pick’s near&dear.

    I heard it through the grapevine that this is the lowdown on Darius Vines: https://gorunners.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4017

    Well. If he and his family value the college education and experience. And the Braves value him more than the lists from BA and FG would suggest, I could see Paolini getting a bit more than his $333K slot.

    Wilson slipped to the 4th round. Maybe other teams didn't see what the Braves did. The Braves did meet several times with Bryse and his parents before drafting him. They knew what his price was before taking him. Apparently, they were the only team to do this.

    I need to get back up to Cottonwood/Prescott and hit the wineries, it's been a while.

    Definitely a prospect to keep an eye on for sure.

    We are not drafting college seniors in this part of the draft, as we have in recent drafts.

    I would not think he’s an over slot.

    The tamu reliever might not be either because he’s a reliever.

    I think what you are groping for is something like this: Vines picked at moment of optimal ripeness.

    Unfortunately he is a pitcher and we can't talk about how he crushes the ball.

    Elon gave him a scholarship.

    Yes. He might age better than some of the others.

    I miss northern AZ; haven’t been back since my 2017-18 winter break, when I was down there for about a week. Was in PHX in November for a writers conference, but the valley just isn’t the same as the highlands.
