Figured I’d throw this in here and might throw it in another suitable thread Did any of y’all see Chipper on Corey Kluber’s podcast?!?! He was as civil/nice about it as possible but he didn’t pull any punches when asked about how player’s approach AB’s today vs in the past & specifically how...

I mean if we’re being honest they didn’t have the depth to cover anyone going down (outside of pitching)

Rumor is Caminiti may come a little cheaper than expected but it’s hard to fault them for jumping on a kid like that when he falls in your lap Truth is none of us know how good or bad these players might be…the Braves MO in drafts has been taking athletic pitchers with repeatable deliveries...

You can go back and probably see the same reactions from players like Nacho, Baldwin and hell even Strider

I mean they’ve got a limited amount of money, you can’t just pick the best available player every round They’ve gotta take underslot guys with upside at some point

Schimdt pulled his name out of the draft just a few hours before it started and announced he was going back to LSU

What do you expect?!?! Most of the lineup is locked up for years

That’s what I saw as well…hard to argue or be mad with this pick…LOADSSS of potential

Wishful thinking with Yesavage

Welp there goes Benge…Waldschimdt , Caminiti or Yesavage I’ve heard underslot Dax Whitney and Doughty mentioned as well

7 strikeouts tonight on 5 different pitches Also Nacho with a 1.538 OPS at Gwinnett

There might be some truth to that https://x.com/dren_braves/status/1784658077746372845?s=61&t=edlXfxJGUcZi2q7aGeXTlw https://x.com/grantmcauley/status/1785340291018318312?s=61&t=edlXfxJGUcZi2q7aGeXTlw

While watching Bryce Miller pitch last night I thought to myself that he’s a good comp for Owen Murphy…their fastballs look very similar

Damn I didn’t realize he was that old, fools you with his childlike face I reckon

Owen Murphy? Tyler Owens got traded for J.P. Martinez… Im hoping Nacho is eventually Arcia’s replacement at SS…he’s been able to hit and get on base since he signed & hopefully that continues against stronger pitching…I didn’t realize how good his glove was till reading this … A third baseman...

Just now getting caught up on this thread… This is what I read about Nacho and how he’s looked at SS… A third baseman at Riverside, the Braves liked how Alvarez’s feet and hands worked, so even though he’s not a runner and has a thicker lower half, they wanted to see how he looked at...

He had shoulder surgery after the season and won’t be ready to pitch until at least the summer

“He's dominated our sport." @JimDuquetteGM and @JimBowdenGM on Alex Anthopoulos's multi-year extension with the #Braves: They speculate that the deal is somewhere between 50-70 million but since the Braves are a publicly traded company it will eventually be disclosed...

$17M?!?! Wow!!
