DRAFT IN PROGRESS THREAD ... What's past is preamble

Anderson and Wentz is a really good first 2 picks.

A hitter at 44 would be nice though lol.

Sigh you don't draft on need. Plus we will have a top 3 pick next year plus tons of top international prospects

When you have a terrible hitting farm system then I'd say you infuse that with hitters. We should have taken one at 3 instead of a pitcher. And next years pick and the international guys are 4-5 years away from helping.
 
Another pitcher sure but the Braves plan has seemed to work. Anderson and Wentz. Two more stud pitchers added to the system.

Now time for a hitter, although we all know it will be another pitcher, lol.
 
John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba

We had Padres taking Joey Wentz in an early mock at No. 8

You do realize the difference between this year and next year is one year right? Not really that different. And all the international players come in this year. All the top hitters had major question marks.

You mean like signing a bunch of hitters in the international market including one of the best 16 year old prospects to come along in years? Draft good players and then sort things out later.
 
Muller's stock has risen during his senior season as he's dominated while showing improved velocity. Pitching in the competitive Dallas metroplex area, Muller, a Texas signee, struck out a national high school record 24 straight batters over two starts and recorded 36 consecutive outs on strikeouts. He now sits 90-92 mph more consistently after hovering at 87-89 regularly last summer. His delivery is clean and his arm works well with little effort. Muller's improved velocity has come with pitching on plenty of rest, and there are some concerns about how well he can maintain that velocity throwing every fifth day. Muller's slurvy breaking ball has sharpened up and gotten harder but neither it nor his changeup have shown true plus potential. He's is a legitimate prospect as a first baseman/outfielder with well-above-average righthanded power (he hits righthanded but throws lefthanded both as a pitcher and in the field) and would be a two-way contributor if he made it to the Longhorns, but his chances of turning into a future No. 3 or No. 4 starter will likely take the bat out of his hands.

#25 according to BA for those who take that as gospel.
