Brantley hasn’t really played much at all here. He didn’t get called up mid April. More like beginning of May. This could before serious then you suggest.
Jeff Todd
Corrected that part. We’re not suggesting anything about how serious it is, though, in either direction.

With friedrich, vargas, and others giving quality innings its.proven the padres can find pitching from the scrap heap that can contribute at the mlb level. With 6 picks early in this years draft I pray Preller gets position players. Draft 2B, SS, 3B, CF, 1B with 5 of the 1st 6. Then look for pitching later in the draft.

Take the best player available, then pitching, pitching, pitching. Pitching can be traded for other needs. Look at the trades of late. Last thing you want to trade for is young pitching (Giles, S. Miller, Smardjz).

I’ve never seen it as smart to draft for your “present needs” unless you really see that player on the fast track to the Majors (which still may not be a good idea).

Agreed, but in Atlanta, they do not have no great catching prospects. J.J. Schwarz may be the best available talent next year out of Florida, but if not Braves would be near forced to take him as they have no one in line soon at C. Christian Bethancourt was supposed to be the C of the future and they backfired.

All winter and spring, the local coverage of Brantley was optimistic about how far ahead of schedule he was in his rehab and recovery. Let’s hope someone in the Indians organization has adopted a more realistic assessment of his condition and proceeds with a little more caution.
