With the draft taking place real soon I thought I'd make a thread to talk about the Braves picks and other draft picks.
From what I've read the most logical pick for the Braves at 7 is Georgia HS pitcher Zack Wheeler. He could be gone before we pick and it is unsure what the Braves would do if that were the case.

Tate would be the best offensive player available, but I think with the signability issues I'd like to see Atlanta take the best pitcher available unless Tate is easily the best choice at #7 of course...
I hope we can get Wheeler.

Agreed...He sounds like a Braves pitching prospect...

The Braves need to keep the pipeline flowing and put together an excellent draft. Hopefully, they'll find a special pitcher with that first pick - and hopefully, we won't be picking that high again for a long time.
Here's the article from the AJC:
Draft starts tonight (http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/braves/stories/2009/06/08/braves_baseball_draft.html)
"...This marks the highest overall pick the Braves have had in the draft since 1991, when they took outfielder Mike Kelly with second pick overall....
...The Braves have two picks Tuesday night — the seventh (first round) and 87th overall (third round). By airing the draft in primetime for the first time on the MLB Network (6 p.m.), an extra day will be needed to complete the draft. So it will run through Thursday.
The Braves lost their second-round pick (56th overall) as compensation to the Dodgers for signing free agent Derek Lowe.
Clark said there were some 10 players in the mix for the Braves’ first pick and only one of them is a position player. ...
The Braves love high school pitching and they love drafting local talent. They have an opportunity to get both if Zack Wheeler is still available at the seventh pick.
The 6-foot-4 right-hander from East Paulding High School has the third-highest rated fastball among high school arms in this draft and the second-best command, according to Baseball America.
...Another local talent that might tempt them is Cartersville outfielder Donavan Tate, son of former University of Georgia running back Lars Tate. He is rated the top high school position player in this year’s draft by Baseball America.
...Among other possibilities is Alex White (UNC), who is rated the second-best right-hander in the draft by Baseball America behind Stephen Strasburg, ...
There’s also Mike Minor, a left-hander from Vanderbilt, who Baseball America projects as Atlanta’s choice in one of its recent mock drafts...."
Recent updated mock drafts are showing Tate and Wheeler gone before the Braves pick. They're saying UNC's Alex White would be the logical guy if that happens. You have to be pretty certain about a college pitcher like White given the age-shortened window to develop. But White looks like a good one who could move thru the system faster as a setup/closer with that arm.
Either way they should get a nice prospect with their 1st pick. It's always those nice surprises picked in the middle rounds that make for a successful draft though. Here's hoping the Braves stumble into a bunch of those!

Would love to see us draft a close to can't miss closer from college in our first round! With Soriano and Gonzales likely leaving we will need one asap!

I've watched White pitch several times and while he is a very good college pitcher I'm not sold on him being a good major leaguer. He is nothing more than Charlie Morton if you ask me. If Tate and Wheeler are gone I'd take a risk and go with the Florida HS 3Bmen, the Braves have so many young arms and we need a replacement in the system for Chipper.

Never, ever, ever, ever, and never draft from "need" in the major league draft. Sure, you can consider it with the NFL, but not in baseball. For one thing, you're waiting 2-5 years for these guys and with injuries, signability, and unforseen struggles, the player you drafted to serve as a replacement may be derailed and quickly. Go with a draft philosophy (high school kids vs. college kids, pitching vs. hitting, toolsy types vs. products refining their game) and stick to it. Drafting from need will only hurt you.

Poor Joey, wonder how his rehab is going? Last I heard, he may not pitch until late 2010 (if he can pitch at all).
But back to the Braves, I'd be happy with Alex White if the Braves can't get Crow, Wheeler or two of the position studs being touted.

I disagree if you draft college players. They tend to have a much shorter minor league development time and you tend to know what you are getting from them. Beane has done it for years and always seems to have tons of young players to fill his needs when he trades the old ones away prior to FA.
But, as the Braves seem to only like drafting high school players from Georgia..... I agree with yer post.

If we don't go ape crazy trading our prospects and manage to keep Medlen from now until next spring, he's a dark horse to close games. He doesn't have a typical overpowering fastball, but his curve and his changeup make him a very dangerous weapon in short stints. Besides...beginning your career as a reliever/closer doesn't mean you have to spend your entire career doing it.
I've been calling for this for about a month. Medlen was dominant as a reliever in '06 and '07. If he could linger in the pen this year, and get a more prominent role in next couple of years, maybe then a rotation spot opens up (Hudson gone, Vazquez and Kawakami's contracts expiring.) Then you have Hanson, Jurrjens, Medlen, and Lowe in his final year. The transition worked out well for Derek Lowe. He had some good years closing before moving to the rotation.

Baseball Prospectus believes Wheeler is their desired player at seven, but he will go six, leaving Alex White for the seventh selection. Donovan Tate is predicted to go third to the Padres.

Tyler Matzek still on the board, #3 rated player by Baseball America, but there are signability issues.

I'm not crazy about our pick. When they are in the draft I like to pick pitchers with great arms and craftiness means nothing to me. Sure hope I am wrong

I really like the Braves taking a guy with polish. I'll go to war any day with a pitcher with excellent control and an outstanding changeup.

I find it hard to care much either way. The MLB draft is the most pointless thing to put on TV anyway. There is virtually no way to forecast how any of the top round picks will work out, and they are too far away from the majors to generate any excitement. I think Hanson was a 13th round pick or something anyway, wasn't he?

Yep. That was the cornerstone of our rotation during the '90s. It's all about control, movement, and knowing how to pitch.
All these other guys with plus stuff across the board seem to run into one problem or another when it comes to long, successful careers.
Good safe pick for the Braves. Those are the ones that end up surprising you a lot of the time. Sucks about Matzek's signability issues because he is a beast. The Rockies are taking the chance on him at 11.
I'm shocked to see White and Purke drop so far.

Hopefully we can get some decent bats in the later rounds. I mean, do we really have any truely promising offensive players in our system not named Heyward, Freeman, (and maybe Johnson)??
BraveFan
06-09-2009, 09:40 PM
I wouldn't be too suprised if this guy is turned into a reliever, we have so many young starts ready on the scene and having a polished college guy coming up real fast with no real spot in the rotation makes little sense.
Dreamscape
06-09-2009, 09:49 PM
He wouldn't fair well as a reliever and you would lesson his value. You can never, ever have enough starters. Sure, we have a full rotation this year and probably next. That buys him time. In two or three years, we will see where he is and where the Braves rotation is. Or you trade him along the way.
Funny little tidbit on the MLBTV coverage of the draft. The opening day pitching staff had one player whose original organization was the Braves (Blaine Boyer).

Minor certainly wasn't the flashy pick, but I think he was still up there on our draft board. He kind of reminds me of Tom Glavine when they say "he has good control, with a fastball that won't exactly blow you away, but has a plus change up". I think Minor is close to a 'sure thing' in the majors. All these pitchers being drafted are huge projects. I see Minor filling out as a #3 or #4.
It's too bad Wheeler didn't fall to us. My brother said he looked kind of sad that he didn't fall to the Braves - can anyone confirm this? And I would have rather gotten Tyler Matzek, but I'm satisfied with Minor.

The evolution means Hale likely can pursue his dream of someday playing in the major leagues, perhaps for his hometown Braves.
Another local guy. At least this one's fastball hits the mid-nineties. Hopefully he can get it over the plate.
...Ok.Sorry. It was probably wrong to generalize. I've just personally encountered people from Princeton and it wasn't pleasant in the least.

Just an observation before I lay back down for a while...
The Braves aren't selecting any high school players this season and they're pretty far into the draft. Perhaps a little bit of a change in philosphy? It's always said to be that college players are generally the safest investments because they are supposedly more developed mentally and physically. While their potential may not be unlimited like a talented high schooler, you can more or less see what they may become from what they currently are.
Perhaps this is the Braves way of retooling the farm system and hoping to land some fast risers? I mean...all I'm saying is that there had to be some talented high schoolers that they are skipping over to select these college players.
Well the Braves have a load of talent in A ball, so maybe drafting guys that could move up quicker isn't a bad idea.

I think that they may be changing to a morre Billy Beane type of philosophy of drafting maybe. Get em older and you can at least have a decent idea of their ceiling. Many won't pan out, but you tend t oknow what yer getting with a college guy.
Personally, I like it!

I wish there was a college stud hitter that we could have drafted at 7, that way we could have a offensive stud with in a year.

Could be the Braves are planning for a youth movement since A ball is loaded. By drafting college players, you could feasibly hope they will arrive sooner and coincide with the arrival of other prospects.

From churchofbaseball.com on 3rd round pick Mycal Jones (SS):
"Looking for a shortstop, but don't believe in Ryan Jackson? Baylor's Shaver Hansen and Miami-Dade CC's Mycal Jones represent two interesting, and raw, alternatives. These two could go as high as the 3rd round or as late as the 6th, as they offer potential on both sides of the ball, but will need significant refinement in pro ball. Hansen has been feature in the leadoff spot with 15 HRs, and has played a bit at 3rd base, but will need to improve his plate discipline. Shaver runs well, although he is not a basestealing threat, and will need to work to stay at SS. Mycal's issue is that he is incredibly raw. Jones has the athleticism and plus speed to succeed on both sides of the ball, but needs to work on his defensive actions and the loading mechanisms of his swing."

4th round pick: David (Thomas) Berryhill is a pitcher from Newberry College... Looks like he's a reliever, small in stature and wasn't even a 1st-Team All-Conference member at that level.
6th round pick: Robert Hefflinger is a 6-5 outfielder from Georgia Perimeter College... Led team with 11 homers and also pitched
MSbravefan

5th round pick Ryan Woolley appears to be another relief prospect.. listed at UAB, but did not play last season after transferring from Georgia.. Appeared in only 3 games in 2008 so his arm should be fresh to say the least
8th round pick Matthew Weaver (SS) hit .452 for Burlington CC last season.. 24 doubles and 71 RBI and 13 HR
4th round pick: David (Thomas) Berryhill is a pitcher from Newberry College... Looks like he's a reliever, small in stature and wasn't even a 1st-Team All-Conference member at that level.
I've covered Thomas Berryhill for the last three years while working as a sports broadcaster in the Newberry area. For what it's worth, here is my scouting report.
Thomas has good velocity on his fastball, reportedly reaching 98 MPH at the workout in front of the Braves, but more regularly Berryhill was around the 91-93 MPH range.
He's got two really good, close to major league pitches and two developmental pitches. Thomas' best pitch is his slider. Topping out at 91 MPH, Berryhill is usually in the 85-88 MPH range with his hard slider. Over his junior season, Thomas learned to substitute velocity for location and would sometimes feature a pitch that resembled a slurve (many of which you can see in the MLB scouting video).
His second best pitch is his two-seam fastball. Very lively and darting down and in to right-handed hitters, Berryhill has relative command of this pitch. Like many young guys, in an 0-2 or 1-2 count, Thomas would try and overthrow his two-seamer resulting in some wild pitches... this was less of a problem over the past year.
His developmental pitches are a straight change and four-seam fastball. Berryhill's four-seamer is likely what registered at 98 MPH, but Thomas doesn't have very good control over the pitch or much movement. Top level professionals would eat his four-seamer up at the current time.
The change-up is a good velocity at 79-81 MPH and dances, but Thomas has a serious problem in tipping his straight change. I'd say he only threw maybe 10-15 change-ups all season.
A smaller guy, Thomas has boundless energy. Berryhill had some attitude problems very early on as a freshman and early into his sophomore year, but since midway through last season he has been a model ball player. An exciteable young man, Berryhill's work ethic has been tremendous over the past year and a half.
I'd project Thomas as having a slight, but real shot at making the major leagues one day. To me, he projects as a middle reliever with his ceiling as a set-up man. He really impressed the Braves scouting staff each time he pitched here and his numbers would have been much better had the Newberry College program had a better overall squad.
Berryhill was relatively durable as he played the field through the second half of the season and also started some games here and there (including a gem in the conference tournament).
Overall analysis: I think that the Braves have picked up a lively arm with some upside, but a somewhat shorter clock. He's already older than many of the kids in the system at age 21. He'll need development on his secondary pitches and probably even his two-seamer. Berryhill has an idea of how to pitch, but at times tries to overthrow and overpower his hitters... a trait that will not translate to professional ball. I think the Braves probably could have knabbed him later in the draft (7th-9th rounds), but with some success Berryhill could be in Mississippi by the end of the year. I do not foresee a problem signing Thomas.

We drafted a left handed pitcher, Christopher Masters from Western Carolina University.
I couldn't help but think of Chris Mordetzky, better known for his character "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters in the WWE before he got fired for failing their drug policy twice.

Are you fing kidding me? We drafted a guy who got kicked out of the WWE for doping?

I was thinking the change was financially driven this year (and pretty smart at that). The Braves top picks are all guys without much leverage. The big variable this year in the draft is the effect Strausberg's asking price will have on the rest of the first rounders. He is apparently miles above this class in talent, but don't tell that to the agent of the next guy in the queue or the agent of any 1st rounder with leverage. Those agents are still going to use Strausbergs asking price as a barometer when negotiating for their guy. I bet there'll be a lot of clubs forced into going way over recommended slot on some 1st rounders due to the Strausberg effect.

We'll see how the college philosphy turned out in a few years. In the immediate future I hope some idiot commentator comes up with some grades we can all laugh at. I decided to use a random number system on Excel to grade the Braves on the draft and they got a B using my equally useful grading method.
I honestly don't think price should even be a factor in who you select with the compensation system that allows you to pick up a draft pick in the next year's draft at the same spot if you fail to sign your player. I know it's probably not instituted to allow the franchises hold all the marbles, but they really do. If we had selected a high school player and he wanted Strasburg money, we just tell him to have a great time in college and we pick up next year's 7th overall pick again.
That said...it still doesn't explain why the Braves have selected a lot of college players in the later rounds as well, where price generally isn't a big deal. There has to be something about this year's draft class or the strategy that made the Braves draft room want to invest in a lot of college level talent.
EDIT: I should note that it doesn't mean you select a guy you KNOW you can't sign or don't want to pay just because he's the best available. Just select a player you're comfortable with is all it comes down to in my eyes.
Went out to Sickels site to see what was being said of the Braves picks and saw this. Apparently contract demands were made known prior to the draft and there were some big surprises. Here's Sickels take.
Most of the high school first round guys are asking for huge money, even some previously considered signable….apparently the agents have upped their demands at the last minute.
Normally I don’t think this would be a big deal, but with the economy sour a lot of teams aren’t really happy about this. Expect more people to drop than just Purke and Tate now. And college guys could go higher than expected.

Here's the link to the overall discussion for anyone interested Minor League Ball Day 1 Draft Discussion (http://www.minorleagueball.com/2009/6/9/903194/draft-day-discussion#comments). Mike Minor comes up quite a bit. He was the fastest riser on Mayo and Neyer's updated mock drafts they were posting from Draft Central based on info they were gathering. Coming on the heels of the upped demands of prospects with leverage (high schoolers), most were assuming this meant Minor was willing to sign quickly at-or-under slot and was a safe pick for the money since he was consistently evaluated as a good bet to be a mid-rotation starter with a faster projected ETA to majors.

Baseball Prospectus really ripped the pick of Minor. Called it "indefensible" and a waste of a pick for a guy who profiles as a fourth starter.
I really wish trading draft picks is in the next CBA. Maybe not trading players for picks, but picks for picks would be a nice addition and allow a team like the Braves, who obviously were very concerned with signability, to drop back a few slots and grab Minor.

I wouldn't call it indefensible but it is a wasted rare opportunity for the Braves who haven't drafted this high in many years. They essentially got a guy who probably would have been a nice grab in a slot where they usually pick (lower third of the first round). Given the crap-shoot of projecting how far/fast a college or highschool talent will come over a 3-4 yr window there probably isn't much if any difference in the success rates of guys picked 7th vs 17th. So to me it comes down to looking at how much they saved and how wisely that savings gets spent. That's the lousy part of how things are working with the Rule4 draft. If the system worked properly the Braves would have taken the best guy available knowing they could sign him and stay on budget.
The thing that's important to remember is the Rule4 is only one source for talent. It looks like a bunch of teams could blow their prospect signing budgets on this years Rule4 because of the upped Agent demands. That will leave less competition and money for the Teherans, Escobars, and Alexi Ramirezes of the world. The US is probably still the best source for great young prospects but it's also the most expensive and the pool is not growing as quickly as it is outside the US. So if the Braves saved 3mil getting Minor at slot and can use that 3mil to find and sign 2 other guys with 1st rd type talent from Bora Bora then I say do it. All that matters at the end of the day is do you have a fertile farm system that is producing major league talent without having to rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul. What source and what round that talent comes from doesn't matter a bit.

Gman, that was a very sensible spin on what the Braves have done. I think it's easy for the brainy baseball types to attack front office decisions, especially when it doesn't conform with their line of thinking. I don't have supreme confidence in Frank Wren like I used to with Schuerholz, but people don't get labeled as a genius GM by doing the conventional... look at what Beane did. That wasn't conventional at the time.

Regardless, reading some of the scouting reports on the players drafted after our 7th pick made me very depressed about our pick. We might have missed out on a very talented player just because of $.
I'll just have to have blind faith and hope that Wren keeps a copy of that article so he can call the author up in a couple years to tell him "That's why you're a sports writer and I'm a GM of a MLB team"
