He's getting a lot of love lately. You think he stays at SS? Pretty big frame.

I think he's one of those guys the Braves really don't know what to do with. I admittingly haven't seen him play yet so I can't really provide an opinion, but from what I hear he has a great arm, and decent range. Has a 3B type build, but could also become an outfielder. I really don't know.

I love the plate discipline he has shown early on. He's never really been called much more than a utility guy, so I hope he proves people wrong in the next couple years.

Definitely a major-league 3B/OF, not a SS. No power, nice glove and decent defense. Good arm. Needs a high OBP and be able to use his speed if he wants an everyday role in the show. Probably end up being a bench player.

Good to see he's recovered from that collapsed lung incident.

I wish I could see more of the Braves minor league games.

Have a real good friend of mine that just got called up to the Texas League (Angels organization), and they have a lot of televised games so I signed up for MiLB.tv.

Besides Gwinnett, the lower systems from the Braves don't get much TV time.

I would probably drive up to Gwinnett if I couldn't get tickets at the Ted for 1$.

Yeah, what I just read sounds like he's a super utility guy... more of a line driver hitter, with great speed.

Wren wasn't lying when he said we're focusing on adding speed.

I'm curious to see which direction he goes early in the draft this year.

Probably a pitcher who threw 3 years in college, tops out at 92, and has great "make up."

He is going to back out.

Admittedly, this approach seems to have worked out decently with Minor.

I'd like to see us go with an OF who has a high ceiling though.

That's the guy I was looking at.

The kid going to Texas is intriguing too.

But I'm sure they'll like Jankowski since he can run.
