Braves are leaning on HS pitcher gore at 5.
I'd be fine with Greene or Loisvilles dual threat McKay

But the Braves need bats and I'd take Rooker at 5. Some mocks have him at 35 to Minnesota twins.

Maybe he will be on the board for braves second pick.
I'd take him in the first he can hit anyone and the Braves are stocked with pitching.

Who you want?

I want more pitching for Houston. We took a high school pitcher last year. I wouldn't be shocked if we do the same. If we went with a college arm I think Faedo would be nice if he fell far enough.

I want the borderline juniors to come back to school for selfish reasons. Certainly curious where some of LSU's high profile recruits land and what their potential signing bonus would be. There are a handful that may go.

I think Wright goes number one. I want the Reds to draft McKay but wouldn't be surprised if they take Greene instead. They're awfully high on him.

Faedo is a stud and if the braves were picking in the 10-20 range he'd be on my radar as well.
The gore kid the braves are targeting has Boras as an agent.. And the braves always under sign so that may fall through

Greene is the arm of this draft and everyone that passes will regret.

Kyle wright struggled at times this year, which makes me Leary

I wouldn't reach for Rooker at 5 but if he's there in supplemental A or 2 you grab him.

My team doesn't get to participate tonight.

But tomorrow and Wednesday, I expect them to take a shitload of college seniors because they have no money to spend.

I'd like to see them get Cole Freeman at some point.

Want Kyle Wright to either go 1-1 or to the Braves at 5.

Braves should trade down and take Evan White from UK and move him to a different position. Yes I am biased.

dual threat McKay

would love it, but he's gonna be gone by time Braves pick in my opinion.


ETA: just looked at link Farmer posted. Would be stunned if Bubba Thompson went that high. I always thought of his ceiling at 12 and his floor at 20, but would be thrilled for the kid if he went higher.

They can't just trade down. Teams can only trade compensatory picks.
