As much as I love Paul Snyder, the Braves brought in Gordon Blakeley prior to the hiring of Coppolella in an attempt to become more aggressive in Latin America. It didn't really work, because of all the high-profile guys they pursued under that regime, only Pache has panned out.

Again, you're wrong. As usual.
At the top of the draft the GM has final say in who gets selected based on data from several sources (scouts, analytics, interviews with the player, personal viewings). After the first 10ish rounds the draft is mostly handled by the scouting staff. This has been verified by guys like Kiley and Longenhagen numerous times.
What you think or doubt is irrelevant.
