As the Braves finalize their options for the first two rounds of the MLB draft on Thursday night — the scouting department has been encamped in a Turner Field conference room since Sunday — the franchise anticipates a formidable haul. Not only do they possess the No. 3 overall pick, the club’s highest since 1991, but they will pick three more players on the first day and then a fifth with the third selection of the third round, which starts Friday.
That’s five of the first 80 picks. Only San Diego, with six picks in the top 85, will be busier.
