Good move by the kid. Any other teams doctor would of found an injury that ours certainly missed.

I haven't stopped laughing since I read this 3 minutes ago.

I'm so sick of having the same stupid argument with you

He is right though.

 

[sturg33]

Insufferable. You are such a hypocrite.

I look forward to your next "I'm leaving post"... will be a nice 5 minutes for the rest of the board

No, he seems like a great pick, high upside but how much pitching do we need lol.

We need a high upside hitter so badly.

It's pretty common knowledge that you don't draft for needs in the MLB draft

Please Sturg...be the bigger man.

There is a significant dearth of pitching in the Braves lower levels. Legitimately, Allard before he even pitches is probably the 2nd or 3rd best prospect they have in the lower minors relative to pitchers.

Use the ignore button or don't respond. Again this IS NOT DIFFICULT.

Bridges says without the back injury, there's no chance Allard would have been available at pick 14.

Allard's injury isn't serious.

If the Braves think they've got a blue chip pitching prospect at 14, then they should absolutely take him. This thing about needs when drafting high school kids is absurd. You have to take the blue chipper, imo.

Braves picked high school left-handed pitcher Kolby Allard with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2015 draft.
It can be argued that Allard has the highest ceiling among high school pitchers despite the fact he missed most of the spring due to a back injury. The 5-foot-11 southpaw features premium stuff, headlined by a mid-90s fastball, plus curveball and a relatively advanced changeup. Furthermore, the 17-year-old has an effortless delivery and already commands his stuff well. The UCLA commit appeared in only five games this spring for San Clemente HS (Calif.), striking out nine batters over seven scoreless innings. The recommended slot value for the No. 14 overall pick is $2,842,400.
