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

[PurpleBrave]

I said we'd draft 40 pitchers. 3 down, 37 to go

 

[Dunit24]

Well the good news is we got the 13, 16 and 24th ranked players which is VERY impressive.

The bad news is these guys are going to have to throw shutouts. LOL

 

[Heyward]

Three good pitchers, a bat would be nice sometime

Jim Callas on the Braves: Three first round talents with their first three picks

 

[Freshmaker]

YOU REQUIRE MORE VESPENE GAS

Will be interesting to see if we try to put a bat in either Wentz's or Muller's hands. Most had Riley as a pitcher last year.

 

[mqt]

Just wait until we take Luzardo and Dietz at 76/80

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Braves will probably be getting a couple or three good bats in the international period next month.

I know many didn't like the plan, but it seems to me they were able to execute the plan. I'll admit that a hitter or two would have been nice, but they've done well.

 

[Hudson2]

We better run the table on hitters in the international signing period.

 

[smootness]

We basically have 6 pitchers with 1st round talent who are age 19 or younger in our system right now. That is pretty stupid. In a good way.

That's what I'm thinkin too. We're just gonna buy em instead of draft em

 

[striker42]

Wentz is a good pick but I'd still rather have Riley Pint and a slot guy at 40. When you have 3 and 40 you don't dream of ending up with two guys in the 15-25 range.

 

[Heyward]

If we're able to sign all 3, farm system gonna be nuts after the international spree.

 

[smootness]

Looks like we were throwing some serious smoke about drafting bats. Not sure exactly why, but we were definitely just straight up lying.

It'll all just come down to what Anderson and/or Wentz turn into.

We got a top 10 talent possibly better, and two top 25 talents at 40 and 44.

Thats a pretty nice haul.

Rome wasnt built in a day.

Ton of risk with Pint... Not sure there's much difference between him and Anderson. Wentz is even close

 

[Hudson2]

Our pitching is absolutely insane. We will def be trading pitching for hitting.

 

[smootness]

Was it Heyward who said we didn't have a ton of pitching? I mean, do we now qualify for that designation?
