Go Braves! There's a good chance this is our last top-10 pick for the next 5-10 years (maybe more - woot), I hope we make it count.

[Heyward]

it's a better draft next year though.

Not saying i want it to happen but would we pick 8-10 again next year if we dont sign our 1st this year at pick 9?

On the level of Yunel Escobar or more AJ Pierzinski?

 

[smootness]

Eh, the same is said about next year's draft pretty much every year. Kids are always more hyped before they get scrutiny.

Not excited about Langeliers, but they didn't ask for my input.
