What pisses me off is that in the 90 draft, the braves had the No2 selection. They picked Tyler Houston. A catcher, who they eventually traded to the cubs.


You sure, I thought the Braves took Chipper with that pick...

Frank was in the 1989 draft.

And he was the 7th overall pick.

And, yes, the Braves picked catcher Tyler Houston and not Frank. That would have been a Bobby Cox decision since he was the GM of the Braves at that time.

Tyler Houston was a career .265 hitter with 63 home runs and 253 RBI. Good job, Bobby.

Ah. Thanks for the correction. It was the 89 draft. Braves did take Houston that draft, and Thomas was 7th. But virtually everybody above him all the way to No.1 wasnt shite at the end of the day.
