Battery Power: for Atlanta Braves fans

In this episode of Road to Atlanta, Matt and Eric, just an hour after the pick or so, sit down to talk about what we know and think of the Braves' newest draft pick, Jared Shuster, as well as try to make sense of how the first round unfolded. We talk draft strategy, names of guys that we thought were also in play at the 25th pick, and some thoughts on what we think could happen with the Braves' picks on day two. Enjoy!

In this episode of Road to Atlanta, Matt and Eric turn their attentions away from the current state of the Braves' minor league system and towards the upcoming MLB Draft. This draft is going to be a weird one with drastic reduction in the number of rounds and is poised to be an outlier in baseball history, so the goings-on are going to be fascinating to see unfold. We go over some of the changes to the draft format, talk about the potential consequences of those changes, and share our thoughts on who the Braves could be taking both in the first round as well as in later rounds...or at least who we would like to see picked. Enjoy!

In this episode, the show returns after a long hiatus. We were wanting to do a show that previewed each minor league roster leading up to the season, but sadly Mother Nature had other plans and we haven’t had much to talk about on the minor league side. However, things have changed and Matt and Eric got together to talk about the state of minor league baseball, or lack thereof, in 2020, the Braves’ decision to extend payment to minor leaguers for the month of June, the team’s subsequent decision to then cut a whole bunch of minor leaguers, what we see happening going forward. Enjoy!
