Ransack Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 As usual I expect the Braves to go hard after homegrown talent. Pitchers like Cam Bedrosian, Mathew Price, and DeAndre Smelter are probably on the braves radar along with the likes of position players like Chris Hawkins, Niko Goodrum, and Zac Alvord. I look for the Braves to go local early and often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monarch Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) #1 Pick says we have no chance at Cowart. I don't know much about any of these guys, but the couple things I have read on him says he could go in the 1st round and may have signability issues. Is there really no chance he falls to us?Of the local position players we might be looking at, do you have a preference?

Is there really no chance he falls to us?Of the local position players we might be looking at, do you have a preference?Someone will take Cowart in the 1st round he's got to much potential to not get selected. Had we had our first round pick we might have had a good shot at him now I'm not so sure. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the signability issues that are floating around are being floated in a effort of him getting taken by the team he wants. He has a legit fallback plan should he not get drafted where/who/$$$$ he wants and the Braves have been involved in this kind of subterfuge before and are in need of a future 3B so I guess we'll see how it shakes out.As far as my preferences go I take DeShields (Woodward) and Chavez (Marietta) off my list. They are the toolsy type position players that the Braves have fallen in love with over the years and who usually don't turn in to much. Goodrum projects to play several different positions, Hawkins is probably my favorite... a true power hitting corner infielder, and Alvord also has that power corner presence but his BA tells me that he might struggle with contact and K's at upper levels.

FlyHighFalcons Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm excited for the Nats to get Harper. Man they picked a great time to suck 2 years in a row because they already have one of the best pitching prospects in the last few decades and now they will be getting one of the best batting prospects in the last few decades.

USAF HART Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 The baseball draft and all of its little gadgets I have never been able to understand. Why is it done in the middle of the season? Is it done in the middle of the season? What is the difference in a rule 5 draft and a regular draft? I guess I only know about the actual game itself and free agency. I know nothing about the things that happen in the off-season such as arbitration eligibility etc. Sometimes I feel so lost. Especially when videogames (MLB 10 The Show) includes stuff like this in their game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about the things that happen in the off-season such as arbitration eligibility etc. Sometimes I feel so lost. Especially when videogames (MLB 10 The Show) includes stuff like this in their game.There are a number of factors for having it in June, mainly that is when all the high school talent is officially available. For years the Braves have feasted on the High school arm, wanting to teach them and coach them prior to them going to college, getting over worked, and learning bad habits. Until recently in fact being a college pitcher was frowned upon by our organization. I remember we tried to draft Josh Fields but that didn't work out. But all that aside that is the main reason for a June draft. Get the biggest pool of people available. It also does seem to add a bit of importance to the College World Series, as you can see who were the best hits/prospects, or who sucks! Otherwise people may not even watch. I know that LSU OF last year might have been able to earn himself a 1st round grade had the draft been a little bit later. Rule 5 draft is completely different. Basically if a player isn't protected by your 40 man roster a team can select him for a palsy 40k or so price, with the intention of keeping him on their 40 man roster, if the player fails to make it the teams have a choice to take the player back or a higher buyout percentage on him. Dan Uggla, I believe has been the most successful Rule 5 guy as of late.Know what MLB needs? A good expansion draft! Those are always fun to follow lol, but watered down players is also the last thing we need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zodiac Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 We dont need to take another pitcher in the first round, We still have Mike Minor, in the minors, and Medlen looks like he could be a very good starter too. We need a replacement for Chipper or a solid LF'er. Not to Mention We have Hanson, Hudson, Jurrjens, and Lowe who are pretty good. We don't need another pitcher.

ugadawg Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I would not take Cowart as a P. If drafted he should be a switch hitting 3B. He has a good build, smooth feet, good hands, and then can light it up across the INF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 You can never have too much pitching. Even if you have too much pitching, you can always move it to other organizations for what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1 pick Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) #1 Pick says we have no chance at Cowart. I don't know much about any of these guys, but the couple things I have read on him says he could go in the 1st round and may have signability issues. Is there really no chance he falls to us?Of the local position players we might be looking at, do you have a preference?Cowart was drafted by LAA I think, I just know he was draft in the mid 1st. There are a lot of HS for GA getting drafted. The Angels are raping the state. I should have stuck with Baseball. I was five tools, 10.33 100. Could hit with + power, but I loved Basketball and the passion for Baseball died when I was the worst player on my Little League team in 6th grade. I sucked at everything, then developed and became an elite caliber athlete. Oh well Edited June 8, 2010 by #1 pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 pick Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) I know we have great pitching but I would love DeAndre Smelter. Not bring up race as a clutch but when was the last time a toolsy Black-American pitcher failed? C.C. Sabathia? He was coached by Kevin Brown (one of my favorite pitchers in the 90's), I like this kid and he has excellent tools.
