Been nosing around the web doing some superficial research on some of the draft picks.
* #15 Zach Becherer is recovering from TJS. Hit the mid-90s with his fastball before going down. Was averaging over 14 Ks per 9 this season in five games. Curious that the Braves went as high as they did with the bonus given his status.
* #16 Josh Anthony committed to Auburn in late-May after having a monster season at NJCAA Division 2 Western Oklahoma squad (same school that produced Andrelton Simmons and current Rome OF Justin Ellison). Like Justin Ellison, Anthony is a Georgia native, growing up in Columbus.
* #28 Nick Shumpert is the son of former major league player Terry Shumpert and was the Tigers' seventh-round pick in 2015. Didn't have a great year at San Jacinto, so he'll probably return to beef up his value. Talking Chop seems to think he'll sign, but I have to guess is will cost more than $100,000 to get that done.
