I guess dude man was 2 fWAR starter just in 2023, but he definitely out performed his FIP and expected stats. Gives me Bryce Elder vibes looking at his K and BB numbers.

For sure... it may end up being a terrible draft... that's the thing about the MLB draft... you just can't know until 3 or 4 years, but I loved the approach and I love the raw upside of the big 4. I also like the under the radar potential of Miller, Dixon Williams, and some of the relief ish...

I was just thinking… man I’d love to see Dane Dunning start every 5th day for the rest of the season…

Man… I forgot about Travis Lee

I don’t see Lodise as a utility man

For me it’s Essenburg

McKenzie certainly was considered a first or second round talent… but his commitment to LSU scared teams off. Essenburg was a late riser but to those guys’ credit… they considered him at least a first day talent before the draft even happened.

Just speculation… but because they knew McKenzie would likely slip due to potential signability issues. When they saw how the draft was shaping up and he was still available they likely jumped on it with how much money they knew they still had. Several teams had Tate with a first round grade and...

I get that Matt Powers and Gaurav are both Braves system analysts/bloggers but they have a strong track record of good analysis and commentary. They were both hoping the Braves would somehow get McKenzie and Essenburg before the draft. It is their view that the Braves got 4 first round talents...

Does that give us half a draft pick?

I mean… I told you so

I’m just telling you what some of the rumors have been

Sounds like it will take around 3 million to sign McKenzie

I did joke with my new boss that I’m probably one of the very few people looking forward to moving to Maine for warmer winters lol. We loved ND but it was time for a change.

Really struggled in his initial DSL year last year but has been hitting the cover off the ball this year

I saw speculation that he would likely start at Augusta and have a pretty quick promotion to Rome for the rest of the season if he looks the part

Penix, Bijan, and London could be a formidable trio. Also worried about the long term OL situation. I am more optimistic about the defense though. It may take some growing pains but I like what they did in the draft and I think there’s some really awesome defensive talent in place… but young. We...

Our family is moving to the Portland Maine area at the end of August after 13 years in North Dakota. Excited for some Fenway Braves games and some Sea Dogs AA games. I accepted a new position in the National Weather Service in the Gray, Maine office.

But he wasn’t a pop up. He was always thought to be at least a second round talent and then he showed out and improved his stock. It was reported several other teams wanted him in the first round.

Middling power? lol okay dude… that’s just a troll statement Additionally, Tate had some late helium, putting up some of the best EV in the combine.
