    I love the first two picks! Too lazy to look up info on the 60th pick but it seems like another versatility pick. Remember AA came from the Dodgers and all of the versatile and interchangeable parts they have.

    That is the best news I've heard about the first round.

    Currently sporting a 1.16 ERA in Mississippi. Of course, he's pretty much a senior citizen in that league at age 27.

    Four draft picks, no pitchers. Feel like I've missed something.

    They have Michael Harris listed as a pitcher.

    MLB Network indicates that Tanner Gordon is draft eligible sophomore in part because he spent two years on his Mormon mission. Older draft pick, turns 22 in October.

    Scouted by Dale Murphy?

    To the sophomore/junior question, The Baseball Cube has Gordon pitching two years at John A. Logan JC and a year at Indiana U. That would make him a junior unless The Baseball Cube has screwed up.

    Tigers take Zack Hess, and rico’s re-draft dream is dead.

    LSU's and Braves' 2018 34th rounder Zack Hess off the board at Pick #202 to the Tigers.

    I’ll throw this here, since I initially dropped it in the wrong thread:

    Tall righty from Champaign-Urbana, junior from Indiana, good K/BB rate.

    JUCO transfer from the same school (John A Logan) from which Trey Riley was selected. I’m guessing the Braves first noticed him there.

    seems like we have picked several players today who will require bonuses that exceed slot

    I’m guessing he’ll be devastated if the Braves skip him straight to Danville and he doesn’t get to go to Orlando.

    8th round pick DeVito was a nice value, rated 162 on the MLB.com board, but goes to Atlanta with pick 247.
