    There's a chance of just about anything haha. The two guys I'm looking at for the Braves right now are Trammell and Wentz. I would be ok with Reynolds, though. But I'd prefer higher ceiling guys.

    Yup, that stinks. Senzel and Trammell is really nice for Cincy. I'm starting to question the Anderson pick now. Hope the Braves truly see him as the best pitcher in the draft.

    Haha we may have a 10-man rotation in 2020 throwing shutout after shutout. Possibly the most legit pitching prospects in the history of baseball at this point.

    I like both Wentz and Muller and I absolutely love that our chances of finding a few legit top arms out of our system are now very good. We'll see what we do to add some offense, but I like it.

    You can always trade legit pitching prospects for hitting later on to get more bang for your buck

    Potentially, depends on what the market looks like. Pitching seems to be holding its value, though, so we may see some trades soon.

    I don't even care about trades, though, to be honest. I love the amount of pitching we have for its own sake.

    Braves been stockpiling pitching last 2 years. I look for them to make some moves this offseason to get some hitters to open the new park next year. At least that's what I hope lol

    Love Dakota Hudson getting picked in the 1st round by an organization like the Cardinals.

    That tells you a good deal about Dakota Hudson.

    My first 3 picks in nearly every draft would be pitching. Stockpiling pitching allows you to build a dominant staff- and it also allows you to trade highly rated prospects for multiple position players to build your team. Pitching is always more expensive

    I love what the Cardinals did tonight. Perez was a possible top 10 prospect that fell because of a positive PED test and the they get two college arms- including Hudson who I think will move through the organization quickly in Dakota and Jones from Virginia. Then they add another power high school bat that could play first or a corner outfield spot.

    I'm hoping that they are very active in the Latin market in July as well. I want them to get Lazarito.

    Yep, if you ain't got pitching, you ain't got squat!

    It also tells you that the Astros must have really been high on him and had a pretty positive scouting report in their computer database.
