MLB Draft Thread

7-13 are all College players.

1. Usually cheaper with little leverage

2. If they turn out to be good, they tend to be ready quicker
 
There are still a ton of top 250 guys who are out there. I'm assuming signability at this point?

Can any team get Jack Bauer out of his commitment to Mississippi State?

well based on our resident State guy... a case of coors light and promotion to head fry cook should do the trick.. might have to kick in all expenses paid date with his sister flying drones over some random dirt pit and a night at the local motel 6 with the pool.

I really liked the draft. On the surface it shows we drafted 3 SS with thr first 3 picks but they are very different. Southisene is the long term HS prospect. I dont think he is a super high upside pick but more potential to be good at everything. Lodise is the college SS should move a lot quicker. And Cody Miller is the small school college SS with an intriguing tool set that fits between the first two in the minor league level. Briggs McKenzie in the 4th is our classic athletic lefty HS pick. Many of the rest are college picks where they focused on players whose development may have been stunted due to injury, also playing football, or grew up in a cold weather enviroment.
 
I'm not all that excited about drafting college middle Infielders who seem to project as utility guys so it confuse me that folks think this was so much better than past drafts.

Oddly a pitcher is the highest upside draft it seems.
 
Drafts are always a crap shoot.. especially when a team has to pick late in the round like the Braves. I thought the Braves did a really good job of grabbing top 200 talent on a lot of different boards in their first 8 picks (1 comp pick) That is basically maximizing value out of all the picks since round 7 pick was something like 217 pick.. I don't really care about position or HS/Col... that is all speculation on what is the best approach.. I just appreciate that the Braves did a really, really good job of going after talent on all 8 picks. everything else after that is just lottery crap anyway.

for me, I loved this draft.
 
so question.. lets say the Braves sign everyone and have a million left over. They could theoretically go to an undrafted college commit and offer that as an undrafted FA, correct? Basically anything over 150K to draft FA goes against the pool is my understanding..

For example Jack Bauer.. he went undrafted.. highly touted player with a strong commit to M-state.
 
I'm reading that the 2026 MLB Draft prospects at the top are better than the 2025 group. It's more important now to get a top 5-6 pick as well as hoping Drake gets ROY to get another pick approximately around the top 30.

Hey, we filled the hole in our system Braden Shewmake left when we traded him.
