Atlanta Braves Draft Manipulation 101

The Atlanta Braves and the team’s draft plans have been highly discussed already, and we’re still a month and a week away from the event! Perhaps it’s because of the team’s rare high draft position, perhaps it’s the major league club’s poor record, perhaps it’s because this is possibly the last season of this current draft setup, very possibly, as the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the players union (MLBPA) and the owners is to be negotiated after the 2016 season.

What will the Braves do? Who will they pursue? How can they take advantage of this current structure before it goes by the wayside (possibly) after this season?
