Braves Draft Pick Thread

Yes

Who? Just curious. I remember Nomar's brother getting drafted and being a bust.

Are there any players on this year's Draft that have family history in majors of note?

Here's an article about family connections in this year's draft from the MLB website: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb...md=20140605&content_id=78364756&vkey=news_mlb

Braxton Davidson just told us that he is going to sign with the Braves despite commitment to University of North Carolina

Run on UVA players for some reason

It is being reported that Braxton will sign despite his UNC commitment. That's good. Sometimes, it is hard to get players who are committed to UNC to sign.

They make a lot of money and don't have to go to class there.

Liking the pick more and more. I'd like to see us just go highest upside in the 2nd round.

I have to say I'm very pleasantly surprised with this pick. I'd have to give it a solid A.

Given their history, I'd just about bank on them going with a college pitcher.

Chase Vallot to Kansas City. I was hoping to get that kid on campus at Mississippi State.

Brewers stole Jacob Gatewood at No. 41. Wonder if there are signing issues?

 

[Tapate50]

Gatewood looks like a monster... Why the fall?

There are significant questions whether he will ever make enough contact with the ball to fulfill his power potential.

Dodgers' No. 1 pick, Grant Holmes, is brother of Braves' Colby Holmes, FA pitcher from S. Carolina they picked up last year.

I saw the .360 Ba and wondered.

Somewhere in Chapel Hill

I saw the .360 Ba and wondered.

His swing has too much noise right now but it's something he has time to fix. Maybe the most raw power in the last 2 drafts and some scouts think he could stay at SS. Hanley?

 

[Tapate50]

Twine projected as 161 ... As 43?

I would guess college pitcher too for the next pick.

Loving how fast the 2nd Rd is going.
