No future major leaguers on that list. A couple of the pitchers had some minor league success but got derailed by injuries.

A lot of mercy killings here, many arm that did not bounce back. If you'll check, virtually every one of the org. guys we dropped has been on the DL one or more times already. Biggest disappointment would obviously be Navery Moore, who could not adjust to relief after being a starter at Vanderbilt. Biggest surprise, is Daniel Watts, taken off the indy scrap heap, but who is a lefty.

Methinks this is a sign that the Braves will be drafting a few college age pitchers in June.

It is a shame about Navery Moore but given his struggles I wasn't surprised either. I liked the pick at the time though.

Several of these could also be to create roster spots to push other guys into sink or swim seasons, eventually making room for international signees to be pushed to full season ball.
