2019 MLB Draft Thread

[weso1]

If we somehow pull a miracle off at 60 we can redeem this class.

The only way I see that happening is by getting Shea and Braden underslot so we could float a guy like Allan down to 60. Or maybe a guy with signability issues like Hampton or Ealy. The ONLY logic that I see with this strategy is if we get a really good player at 60.

welp

#195 at mlb. This isn't making a ton of sense to me. Reminds me of the year we drafted Kevin Castleberry and Mike Mordecai.

Wow. Is AA intentionally trying to throw the draft? We should of had plenty of money to go after Leiter or Allan.

 

[BeanieAntics]

I mean, there is no way that we aren't under slot at this point right? There is no way that any of those three are worthy of going over slot for right?

My balls hurt.

Just when I think it can't get worse, it does. This is utter nonsense.

I would almost rather fail to sign Shea and Braden so that we can have 3 first round picks next year lol.

I'm sure we're just saving our draft money for International signings.

Just looking to have a good and cheap bench in 2021.

I'm usually pro-AA but i'd love to know what the **** they're doing.

Neither of the 1sts should be overslot. And this pick well, i dont even know.

Somebody is passing around a good one in that draft room.

I can't remember all the weird rules in MLB draft... isn't there some strategy about throwing big money to long shots after the 10th round?

If we don’t sign Shea then that pick is gone.

He's our second round pick and people are already hedging his ability to hit enough to stick as a position player?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

nah. braves don't have the money for Kimbrel

Doesn’t look like we have money for the draft even.

Financial Flexibility!!

Smart... doesn't seem like we've gotten any in a while

Maybe AA is playing the long con.

Get two first round picks in a much better draft class. Genius.

Where exactly is all this draft money going?!

I usually give him the benefit of the doubt too but I can’t defend anything after this.
