The rule four draft starts in six hours and the Atlanta Braves preferences are still a mystery. We all know the needs but the GM told Mark Bradley they aren’t the motivating factor.
That’s not a surprise, this isn’t basketball or football where the rookie take the field almost immediately, difference between a high school team and a high A team is huge; the jump between even the best college team and a good AAA team is just as big. It’s a rare player that can make that move in under three years so the draft depends on how the Braves project the future.
