Unknøwn Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Astros select SS Carlos Correa as the first pick so a shocker to start it but the kid has drawn comparison to Tulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Seen it live, its on MLB NetworkI don't get MLB Network anymore since Charter took over. They replaced MLB Network with CSS on the basic package. I would have to pay extra to get MLB Network.Good pick by the Mariners getting Mike Zunino. Dude can rake!

Cable Guy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Wondering what route the braves will take. Do they go for the most signable again. Or do the go with best position player or pitcher available. I personally hope braves go with best outfielder available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally hope braves go with best outfielder availableUnder the new MLB slotting system each team gets a certain amount of money with which to sign their players based on the number of picks they have and where they are drafted it. So all this stuff about signability shouldn't mean nearly as much anymore unless a guy is dead set on going to college.But I agree in hoping the Braves go with the best outfield available. Hopefully a college outfielder that wouldn't take long to get to the majors. I really wanted the Braves to do that last year but they didn't.

I don't think a player being in college allows him to get to the majors quicker. It does help with scouting said player. But if a person can hit he will progress through the minors quickly whether he came from high school or college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 A&M OF Tyler Naquin has been linked to the Braves by some of the analyst he's not really a power hitter but does have pop he's mainly a guy who hits for a high average and gets on base but he only has average speed hes also a plus defender with a good armThe scouting report I read had Naquin as a guy who may hit .280 with 30+ doubles and 12-15 HR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yeah Wren's philosophy is speed, defense and pitching which is pretty much how they've drafted since Wren came along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Jim Powell brought up Marcus Stroman a RHP from Duke and I must say I like what i've read about him his fastball sits in the mid 90s and can reach 98 his changeup is low to mid 80s and he has a hard overpowering slider hes also been working on a cutterHe is considered very close to MLB ready and could help in the bullpen as early as September but he does project out as a very good SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is all good taking top pitching prospects there comes a time when you either stop drafting so many or you have to trade them. Drafting a highly rated bat is better than having to trade multiple players for 1 bat Edited June 5, 2012 by Cable Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I believe some mock drafts had the Braves taking a SS but I highly doubt they go that route with Simmons already on board unless its a guy who will likely convert to 3B or 2B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if a person can hit he will progress through the minors quickly whether he came from high school or collegeA college hitter may only be a year or 2 from making an impact at the major-league level while a high school hitter sometimes can take upwards of 5 or 6 years before they become an impact bat at the major-league level.Plus it's a lot easier to judge college hitters than high school hitters because high school players still have so much growing left to do before they get to their adult size.
