The Braves better start Sims, because if they wanted a closer, should have gotten Stroman.

Half of the Braves team is gonna be from Gwinnett county.

Where was he projected?

Would not be surprised if STL takes Stroman.

38th round.

I was joking about the right handed relief pitcher earlier. (At least I thought I was)

So, interested in what the Braves saw in Sims over Stroman. I'd like to hear the logic.

Devin Marrero. Most overrated guy in the draft.

Perfect for Boston, obviously.

Stroman could have made an instant impact and then converted next year...

Braves with zero comp picks... zzzzzzzzzz

Well, Tony DeMacio thinks he could be a top of the rotation type guy. The fact that his favorite player was John Smoltz makes me want to pull for him. He was around the 30th best prospect from what I looked at so really not a reach and at least he has some upside. I'm growing fond of this pick.

Maddox was my favorite. Pick me if that's all it takes.

So many people had him pegged for DC and I was so glad we didn't take him.

Giolito... veeeeery interesting. Hope we can get him signed.

Shaffer was a great pick by the Rays.

Reds just made a good 2nd round pick in Tanner Rahier.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Another Auburn commit just drafted. Man, that sucks for them. At least they have a good eye for talent.

The reds first round pick surprised me.

Marlins took Steck
