Atlanta Braves Podcast episode 14: a chat with Kiley McDaniel

The MLB draft is going to change this year - we still don't know exactly what form that will take, but we're already wondering here about how well the Atlanta Braves are going to be set up to get the kinds of players they need to help replenish the farm system.

To the end, we had a chance to talk with someone intimately familiar with the process of identifying prospects: scouting them, grading them, projecting them - heck, he has now quite literally written the book on the subject.

ESPN's Kiley McDaniel, formerly of the Yankees, Orioles, Pirates, Braves, Fangraphs - and a fellow UCF alum - sat down with us in between lawn grooming sessions to talk about all these subjects at some length.
