They're a team without much of a margin for error. They don't really have a star player on offense, but they are fairly solid on offense as a whole outside of a lack of power. Pitching is average.

I'm not disappointed, but I am a bit surprised in that they just seemed to veer dramatically from the course they have taken in the past. Only they can plot out how they are going to maneuver the bonus pool, but they've consistently tried to draft a post-round 10 flyer and they didn't do that...

They held off on that until they got to the major leagues, where they not only farted but played like crap.

I don't know if it's worthless, but I always preferred the Baseball Prospectus method where they gave two grades: one for ceiling and one for chances of reaching ceiling.

There's a strict bonus limit for non-drafted players. I don't know the number off the top of my head, but I believe it's less than the basic amount of guys drafted between Rounds 11 and 20.

I had to bug out and go with my step-grandchildren to the new Jurassic Park movie (not that great) and couldn't post the stats/bios of the Braves' draftees. Here are the guys from Round 13 through 20. Round 13: Logan Forsythe Baseball Reference Page (RHP) Round 14: Mathieu Curtis Virginia...

Where was it announced?

I'm old and go back to the 1950s, so I won't bore you. Robert Fick would have been ready to fight whomever.

You dissing Big City Matt Adams? The guy who was so good they moved Freeman to 3B?

Not enought PAs to qualify.

If the Braves were contending, the equation would be different. What gets overlooked is not whether he is ready, but whether the team should stick him on the 40-man before they have to, start his service clock, and maybe get in an option bind,

I remember seeing video of both Joey Wentz and Kyle Muller from their high school days when they were hitters as well as pitchers. They are both big guys and they were just ripping the ball as hitters.

I can't take it seriously. No Larvell Blanks or Mike de la Hoz. Woody Woodward at SS.

It's a nice mix of players (can't predict how they will turn out) but some college, some high school, mix between pitchers and position players and they don't seem to be trying to do bonus gymnastics to the degree they have done in the past. In two days, remind me how wrong my assessment is.

I'm not going to even guess on bonus amounts. Braves have usually gone for savings in Rounds 7 through 10 (although there's not a ton of savings to be had as slot amounts go down) and they did select college seniors in Rounds 8, 9, and 10. McKenzie and Essenberg stand out as the two that they...
