we should be positioned to go over slot the next couple rounds...hoping we have the $$ to get some second round caliber guys the next couple rounds

I can't wait until we pick some no name like......

....Farmer Abendroth or....... Samson Abernathy instead!!!
 
Wasn’t Dana Brown hired as an interim guy, and then we would hire a new scouting director after this draft? I could’ve sworn I read that.
 
So the Braves just confirmed that they used the 21st pick to get a guy who profiles as a defensive sub/utility infielder. Holy **** I am extremely pissed. How can this happen. are we that poor?
 
If you want a shortstop, I'm not sure why you don't take Lugo there. I'm curious what kind of analytics are suggesting that college hitters are preferable to high schoolers.

that's the thing...these lists from BA and FG are ok for the first round but after that the divergence of opinions gets big very fast...I'm not sure this is a case of analytics favoring the college guys

Yeah personally I would have gone with Samson Abernathy at 60, but Fineas Del-Bonta Smith is a fine selection as well. Wait, I mean Beau Philip. Sorry, its easy to mix these sub-200 ranked kids up.

a fabulous name...

he's a shortstop that our scouts liked better than some of the more high profile guys...which is fine with me...by the second round draft boards will diverge a lot from team to team...sounds like he has a good chance to stick at short...plus he's young for his draft class...my favorite of the day 1 picks

That’s exactly what I was thinking. This is the bench depth draft.

This will be the last year we have high picks also.

Sickening.

Not so divergent on their ranking of this particular player.

Brown’s media presence hasn’t exactly gone off without a hitch tonight either
