My post supporting the Braves' first-round selection of Jared Shuster brought a lot of groans about who the Atlanta Braves should have taken instead.
Let's state this clearly upfront: none of the options suggested were possible if the team stayed within its allotted pool and acquired four quality players.
Friday, Jake stated his dislike of the phrase 'take the best player available'. He's correct, but the phrase should say, "take the best player on the board that allows the team to stay within spending limits set by MLB, and acquire enough good players to make sure they get as much value from the draft as possible".
