Lugbauer could be a nice pickup

Sounds like Adam Groesbeck can only play for 60 days if he's signed as he has to serve two years active duty before requesting Ready Reserve status. Seems like an odd pick if this is the case.

Braves have done this at least twice before with West Point players. Nice tip of the cap to the service academies.

Jackson Lourie, Rhodes sr. pitcher, is from Atlanta (Lovett). Converted to pitching when serious injury to his left (non-throwing) hand prevented him from swinging a bat.

40th round pick Baron Radcliff (Norcross) gratefully declines:

"After deciding to go to school, the Braves still showed love. I'll be back again in three years."

Yeah, this is something the Braves do quite often.

Ah...I didn't realize

Drew Waters told 11 Alive that "when the Braves called, I knew I wanted to do the deal and be the next hometown hero." But with these kind of $$$ flying around, we should wait until that beomes official, right?

He is wearing a Braves cap in a new Twitter page photo.

Noah "Cutter" Dyals (17th) signing Sunday in Atlanta. Wearing Braves cap all over his twitter site. Has ridiculous numbers -- side-armer!

 

[rico43]

Jake Taylor (25th) declines. Already signed for OSU. Too bad; a catcher named Jake Taylor is a promotional gold mine.

 

[Orphan Black]

Sounds like Greene, McKay and Wright are going to get more than Lewis, and Gore could match him.

 

[rico43]

Chris McMahon (33rd) confirming he will still enroll at Miami U. this fall. Top 100 player.

Minnesota apparently really wanted Brent Rooker.

 

[zbhargrove]

Awww man, was hoping we would have Jake Taylor

can he bunt?

 

[striker42]

I think we got a better player at 5 this year than we did at 3 last year. Higher ceiling and higher floor!

Bowman reporting that Wright has already come to terms, albeit over slot at $7 million. While waiting to confirm the amount, putting him in the DONE category.
