Those teams would have been better with Brian Snitker as manager. There is no doubt in my mind. Brian has some Bobby in him.

It will be interesting to see Anderson's numbers when they come out. I'm betting it is closer to $3.3 million than the $4 million that John Heyman has been throwing around. Brian Bridges, Roy Clark, John Coppollela, and whoever else was involved with this draft did a freaking masterful job...

Level of competition notwithstanding, Justin Ellison was good enough of a prospect to get a scholarship offer from Oklahoma State, who is sitting pretty in the CWS right now. Josh Anthony was also good enough to get a scholarship from Auburn. At Auburn, Butch Thompson is an excellent...

Article on the Tournament of Stars: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/185553258/dl-hall-leads-tournament-of-stars-prospects?topicid=167757330 Hagan Danner is from Huntington Beach, CA, which is where Braves Southern California scout Dan Cox is based. California is absolutely loaded with...

You will have to give up a pick to sign either one of them. Personally, I'd rather have Mac and transition to a younger guy (Brett Cumberland/Lucas Herbert) in 2-3 years.

Yes. He should be a candidate regardless. He knows how to manage his team. The difference under him and Fredi is that Brian has created a better environment for the team to be successful. He's managing the clubhouse better, and the players are responding. He knows what buttons to push.

Jace is young and will be a useful player for Atlanta as a super utility guy. He got some reps in the OF at Gwinnett, so he is a guy that can play a little short, second, possibly third, and in the outfield.

He couldn't comment directly, but when Bill asked Brian Bridges about the possibility that Atlanta may sign a bat in the J2 signing period that was better than any of the bats in the college draft, Bridges pretty much confirmed that it was a possibility. The point is, the bat is better than any...

Exciting!! I'm planning on making the trip over there and staying in the Battery Atlanta for the Braves home opener next year. Oddly enough, I open my email up today and I have a recruiter from the Atlanta area that has sent me an email. They need a family practice physician at a clinic that...

There is no avoidance of hitters. They have drafted 9 players in the first two rounds over the last two years. 6 are pitchers, 3 are hitters. That is not an avoidance. It goes back to the Paul Snyder philosophy where if the arm and the bat are equal, take the arm. Brian Bridges made a...

He's a young pitcher with good stuff. I think he can be a 2-3 at his best.

Watching video of Hunter Greene. WOW! The arm action, the way the fastball pops, his athleticism. He's definitely going to be in the mix to be the 1-1 pick next year.

This is a lesson for those that were concerned. This front office and scouting staff KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Trust the staff and the process.

Anderson has already agreed to sign, so Cumberland signing for $1.5 million was done so with them knowing what Anderson will get in his bonus.

The Braves have had back to back drafts that have been great. It's a big change from the 2010-2014 drafts.

The criticism of the Braves strategy with going under slot at the 3rd pick makes very little sense at all, and the argument that the draft could have been better had they targeted a player who wanted the entire slot value for the #3 pick makes even less sense. This is a draft where there was no...

Hunter Greene from Notre Dame HS in California is a player that is emerging as a potential 1-1 candidate for 2017. At the PG National event this weekend, Hunter was hitting 97 off the mound and hitting 500 foot home runs with the bat. He's a 6'4", 195 lbs RHP/SS prospect who is extremely...

You show me a GM that would take Nick Senzel over Kevin Maitan, and I'll show you a GM that will be fired. That is a Billy Beane type of decision.
