Also, a few mock draft updates as the draft approaches. Remember, the Braves have 5 of the first 75 picks.

Baseball America
14. Braves
Other than Tyler Jay, the player with the most helium in early May is Georgia prep catcher Tyler Stephenson. Could he fit the Braves any better? Atlanta has gotten many of its old scouts back together, including special assistant Roy Clark, who nailed two prep catchers when he was scouting director in Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Brian McCann.

Selection: Tyler Stephenson, c, Kennesaw Mountain (Ga.) HS


FanGraphs
The Braves at 14 are interesting because they have lots of picks and pool money so they could be creative. They are tied, as usual, to multiple toolsy kids from the southeast. They would likely take Tyler Stephenson if he gets to their pick, which is doubtful at this point, and also like West Alabama RHP Tanner Rainey in the 2nd round, along with Georgia prep 3B Cornelius Randolph in the 1st round. Randolph is also a target for the Giants at 18 and the Royals at 21; he likely doesn’t get past both teams.

Wisler, Folty, Fried, Sanchez, Jenkins, Banuelos, Vizcaino and Thurman are the arms we acquired. I'm not that worried about any of them. A little concerned about Wisler but he has had some good starts mixed with bad. Sanchez is very young. Viz is most concerning.

Sims and Hursh are who I'm worried about.

Good outing from Wisler today.

quote:

@scottcoleman55 2h2 hours ago Matt Wisler with 8IP, 5H, 1R, 0BB, 2K today. 90 pitches so far, Gwinnett's up 6-1


Only two strikeouts today, but his strikeout numbers have been solid this year.
