Title: Atlanta Braves & 2014 MLB Draft-Very interesting, With Quirky Picks Post by: Marshal Dillon on June 09, 2014, 09:48:23 PM The Braves first pick was a left-handed power hitter & OF. They way his arm is described he would be a right fielder with that throwing arm. Left handed power hitters are a big commodity, especially for the Braves.
Selections 2, 3, & 4 are RHP's, and all large, 2 are very large. The 2nd pick is 6'4" and a power pitcher. But he is a midget, the next 2 pitchers are 6'7"/6'8" and the 3rd is 6'7"/6'/6". Also, power pitchers. Obviously the Braves have adjusted their focus more towards power pitchers. Selection 5 is a LHP, normal size at 6' 190#. He throws a very good sinker. Selections 6 CF, 7 2B, 8 RHP, 9 3B, 10 1B, 11 RHP So 6 of their first 11 choices were pitchers. I am not going thru all 40 picks but they picked: 19 Pitchers, 15 RHP & 4 LHP 6 Outfielders 3 Catchers 4 1st Basemen 2 Shortstops 5 2nd Basemen 1 3rd Baseman http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2014/drafttracker.jsp#ft=team&fv=atl :dog: Title: Re: Atlanta Braves & 2014 MLB Draft-Very interesting, With Quirky Picks Post by: KoKoPuf on June 10, 2014, 09:26:34 AM The #1 pick probably is already a better hitter than BJ Upton & Dan Uggla.

We probably should have used more higher picks for hitters.

I wonder. RTR!

I wonder. RTR! Who would take Uggla with his huge contract and minuscule hitting? He will be let go, more than likely. :dunno: Title: Re: Atlanta Braves & 2014 MLB Draft-Very interesting, With Quirky Picks Post by: ricky023 on June 10, 2014, 05:07:04 PM Well the question is though, do you think the Braves will trade Upton or Uggla?

I thought he would be a lot better manager than he has shown us. Maybe my first impression was very wrong. RTR! |
