New Atlanta Braves draftees performing well

New Atlanta Braves draftees performing well

Despite having 14.3 billion pitching prospects, the Atlanta Braves recently used four of their first six draft picks (including their first three) on high-school arms. It was a move that inspired more than a few groans. With those top picks (Ian Anderson, Joey Wentz, Kyle Muller, and Bryse Wilson) having now graduated, signed, and joined their first minor league assignment, what are the (very)…

“That’s Amore!” Building for the Future: NL West Draft Breakdown 2016

The San Francisco Giants have become the darling of the NL West. They draft, develop, and sign players correctly. Their organization reminds me of the St. Louis Cardinals.
