The Atlanta Braves

Drue Hackenberg … #200 prospect on MLB.

Understood Waldrep … but this is just a bad pick.

Every year. A second round pick that isn’t really a prospect for underslot

It's someone we can package to the A's when we need another hitter

Cade Keuhler at #70.

All pitchers with control concerns that may end up in the bullpen.

I remember when the Braves farm system was great.

Infuriating

What’s even more hilarious about the strategy is that we’ve shown we can take mid round pitchers and develop them! Elder/Strider/AJSS all were mid round guys that have been good, shown potential. And it’s like “Keep taking college pitchers! Can’t have too many arms!”

I mean I get we have every position besides LF locked down for the next 3-5+ years but man like the pipeline has three hitters that maybe, kinda sorta could turn into something. And one of those is a 17 year Latin American kid. Like, just replenish the system at some point with a couple bats

They grow up so quick

Also saw he was #6 on Fangraphs overall draft board. That’s a large discrepancy from everyone else but they already have him as a top 100 prospect.

Would assume so. When your “worst pitch” is 99mph then you might have a chance to be good

Another way to look at it (not saying it’s right, wrong, or even a solid plan) is that if you are the one that has arms, you find yourself holding the cards in most any deal.

That’s a very Georgia name too. Right up there with Dansby Swanson.

UGA QBs have had it too

Stetson Bennett
Huston Mason
Greyson Lambert

Would like to see a little hitting upside in the draft today.

Hackenberg has to be way, way underslot.

 

[05_never_again]

Torpedoed my grid with 2 just stupid guesses for Cubs Cy Young before finally picking an obvious one.

If you don’t have it by now probably just gotta let that one go

Astros fans who want to rub your nose in it. And there are many, although it's still wild more of his jerseys have been sold than Mookie this year.
