Spencer Strider RHP Clemson next pick
Callis just wondered if this fourth round pick was a money saver. We are now 3-for-3 with people wondering that after all of our picks. Ha

didn’t a bunch of analysts say the Braves were going to be focusing on prep players?

Lot of odd circumstances but can't say that any of AA's drafts have really seized the imagination.
Not that it's important.
It's helpful to remember that you really aren't going to pull anything over on anyone when you are down a pick in a five round draft and you're picking late.

Like the Strider pick.
Here's Strider's page on the Clemson baseball site: https://clemsontigers.com/sports/bas...encer-strider/
Obviously none of us know much, if anything, but I miss the fun and projection that came with the Bridges drafts. The AA drafts are just kind of boring.
Doesn’t mean it’s bad or wrong, just not overly fun the follow.
Love that Law was wrong on us going heavy on HS. What a putz

Bryce Elder from Texas is the final pick. Callis thought he’d go in the third. Called it tremendous value
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Sounds like Elder would be our over slot pick.
DOB- #Braves scouting chief Dana Brown said Bryce Elder will probably be an overpay in 5th round -- he had been projected as a 3rd-rounder but fell because of signability. But Braves should have the money in their pool to sign him and their other 3 picks.
Going overslot on a low ceiling college arm sums this up pretty well.

It’s like they had the same strategy as last year but forgot they didn’t have the extra rounds for high school guys.
