I don't think you'll find anyone disagreeing there (except maybe Murph and Smartass, who knows). At&T is one of the sweetest parks in the game, and most Braves fans hate Fredi.
And as far as taking someone right ahead of us goes, one of the mock drafts I looked at (I think it was Goldstein's) had the Giants taking Roache right ahead of us. I sure as hell hope that doesn't happen. That would be a pain in the arse for sure after you guys snatching Wheeler (not that Minor hasn't worked out fine so far).

Guy needs to calm down at the plate. He's way too aggressive. Has a hot woman though for sure.

If the Braves score over 5 tonight there should be a moratorium on Fredi bashing for at least 2 weeks.

Wow, wouldn't have ever guessed he would turn into anything special. I mean he was good but I always thought he was perceived as better because he played for teams like the ecb titans/Astros.
He was definitely on the roids jr/sr year in HS

Last night with runner on 1st and 2nd with no outs he popped out to SS on infield fly rule.
Then he struck out with a runner on 2nd.
Then he flied out to LF with a runner on.
In other words, he's 1 for 11 with 4 Ks so far. We're really shallow at 2B because otherwise this guy would still be at Fresno.

He's definitely a middle away type hitter. Don't remember him ever pulling the ball. Walked alot but also made alot of groundouts.
He runs pigeon toed as hell

Haha, I think its pretty much a right of passage to take steroids your jr/sr year of HS to bulk up and get drafted.
Some of the shittiest players are still playing ball in the ncaa/minors right now bc of it.

Thanks. I was worried for a second. I hate sports announcers so I usually mute it and listen to music while watching sports. I guess they come in handy sometimes though
