Hunter Greene swing mechanics:

Baseball players don't do predraft physicals like they do in basketball and football. For most of them, they are playing in a summer league or in college during the predraft process. If they have any medical looks, it definitely isn't to the level of the NFL combine where you are poked...

I still think Lucas Sims can be really good, but he's getting on that border to where he needs to start showing that his stuff is translating.

I would imagine that he has one. It will be interesting to see if they put him in Carolina at any point. He may stay in Rome for the year and skip Carolina and go straight to Mississippi next year. He could be on track to arrive in Atlanta as a 23 year old in 2018. Fried was the #2 rated HS...

Max Fried last 33 IP: 39 SO, 15 BB, 23 H, 8 ER, 2.18 ERA, 10.6 SO/9, 4.1 BB/9, 1.15 WHIP.

Preller, another non-baseball guy. Take advantage of him like we did in the Upton deal and the other Upton deal.

The Astros moves have been pretty stupid ever since Luhnow ran off a very good baseball guy in Bobby Heck.

Yes. He's a supposed analytics guru, which means he never gets beaten on a trade and never makes a mistake.

There are make up issues with Groome, so even if he is in the draft next year, there are pitchers that I would take over him. Mainly Hunter Greene at this point.

Dansby Swanson in the Futures Game.

It would take a Ken Giles type of deal to get him if it were up to me. He may be having a career year, but he was also the 14th highest rated prospect in baseball by BA back in 2011.

I'm not sure what the scouts felt about him when he was 19 coming out of Mexico. I do know that he has had some injury issues, but when he has been healthy, he has generally hit the ball well.

The Braves also do not have to trade Viz unless they get a good return for him. In fact, if they don't move him, they can elect to go ahead and buy out his remaining arbitration years and have another controllable young pitcher.

How long is it before we consider Joey Meneses a legitimate prospect as well, as he has done will in his initial start at AA, which is a more age appropriate league for him?

These are the types of high upside risks that you have to be aggressive about taking, or else you are going to end up with a team full of role players and not win much. When this class comes in, the Braves are going to be absolutely loaded with high end talent and hopefully will be adding...

Without Moncada, it would have to be Devers/Benintendi/Swihart/Espinoza, and if they want Viz, they will have to throw in Chavis and Kopech. Frank Wren is great at depleting a farm system, so there is hope.

The strike out rate is a big concern, but he may also lack a position in the field. I don't think I would do a Teheran for Gallo deal.

Who will not cost the team draft pick compensation? That's something that I think gets overlooked. The Braves, at this point, are not going to do anything that cuts down on the # of picks they will have available to them in the draft. In fact, Coppy hinted in his #AskCoppy session the other...

So, Otis Nixon didn't steal 76 bases in 1991 while Ron Gant was a 30/30 guy with 32 home runs and 35 stolen bases? It cracks me up that so many Braves fans try to diminish the greatness of Bobby Cox. You have the sabermetric BS wrapped up in your head too much. The way some of you talk about...
