Braves pick 5th, 41st, 80th, 110th, 140th, etc.

Should be some draft icing on the cake with those first two picks.

Hey Rico, any plans on starting a draft thread soon? Really enjoyed the one we had last year.

Gonna finish my prospect project first. Don't want to compete with myself too much. This thread will do for now.
 
I'm hoping a stud bat will emerge and is available but I have a feeling it'll be the top HS pitcher on the board.
 
I would ask if there are any names we're considering, but Ian Anderson came out of the blue last year so what's the point?

I dunno there are some really interesting college ones at this point. Of course things will change dramatically, but their seems to be 4-5 college pitchers worthy of a top 5 pick right now.

I like a lot of college arms in this draft and think that's our best bet if Kendall goes before 5 as most expect. It would create an interesting situation though. If we draft Faedo or Wright as SEC arms that have dominated that caliber of competition, I'd imagine they should be started in Double A in 2018. That puts them right on track with Allard, Soroka, Touki, Sanchez and Gohara. Awful crowded in that timeline, but obviously best available is still the way to go in the draft.

I agree. There are gonna be a ton of options at 5. If Faedo is there it would be very hard for me to pass up on him.

It's just going to depend on how things shake out. There's absolutely no way to predict what we'll take right now. If there were a bat we felt was worth the #3 pick last year, I'm sure we would have taken them.
 
Junior college seasons start next week in the South and college seasons a week or so later. Get out the radar guns and keep your pencils sharp and notebooks handy.

Amended: California JC season started last Saturday. Check of njcaa.org for most JC stats and cccaasports.org for California stats.

They would have taken the 3b from Tennessee for sure and maybe the kid that went #1 if I recall their post draft commentary correctly.
 
Just the Tarheel in me, but Bukauskas would be a favorite target personally - worst-case scenario could have Weigel setting him up as soon as Johnson's deal is up.
 
Looking forward to following this. Our system is amazing as is. The fact that we get to add some top flight 'spects to it makes me giddy :elefant:
