I think a lot of people profiled him there anyway

I won't like this but I would not be surprised to see both Freddie and Ender moved after this season for prospects
Remember they both have what, two more yrs left
And we have Pache who is close to being ready to replace Ender
It is not a likable strategy, but if they both have good yrs, it is not unreasonable given how this operation is run
Agree with Cheaters, no way they pay him the market rate at that time - I don't think it will be 40 mil per in two yrs but for sure 30-35 range in AAV
Hey, I am not going to bet the rent money that Acuna will be retained when his time is up but that is a long way off

AA better not mess up this draft and have another Carter Stewart contentious negotiation
There are two picks in the first round, one can be a pitcher and the other a stud hitter - and don't be cheap pay the FMV for the best talent available - they tried to get something for near nothing and it backfired last yr

Stewart had wrist concerns once evaluated by team doctors. Wrist action=high spin rate Brady Aiken had injury issues once drafted by the Astros, it was determined a redo and loss of one draft slot was more valuable. That pick became Alex Bregman...

We will see. I would hope we go for an everyday player cause the failure rate is less and it might be some time before we draft in the top 10 We will see what happens with Stewart. We have seen pitchers like Brady Aiken and Mark Appell just completely bust and others like Luke Hochevar (second overall) make it but not be very good. Even Gausman was 4th pick overall -- has ability but not really put the big time yr together yet. It could be this yr health permitting, he has real stuff is better than what I thought when the trade was made

Things aren't a total disaster there as the Braves will get the 9th pick in the 2019 draft as compensation, Stewart had been picked 8th.
Rumor has it that AA was acting on advice from Coppy/Hart when they selected Stewart.

Oh, definitely, the Braves aren't in a terrible position, but what I think Westie is talking about is drafting a guy and not signing him, which absolutely will not happen. Where did you hear about the advice thing?

Where did you hear about the advice thing? I heard the advice thing from the echoing hate filled chambers of Pit of Misery's head. (That's Westie. )

Lets hope not -- that does not happen often but there is no guarantee that it could happen to us a second year in a row I don't think you get the replacement pick if you do not sign your first rounder two yrs in a row - not sure but I could be wrong Be interesting to see where Carter Stewart figures in now - in a few yrs he could be another forgotten high falutin prospect that was not as good as he thought
