He's NOT OUR ACE!! Soroka,Fried, and Folty should go 7. Julio is our #5 so any start where he goes 5 or 6 innings and keeps us in it is a good start and he has more than done that this year

You gotta call em like they pitch. I firmly believe Folty is gonna be solid going forward. His velocity is back to the upper 90's and he isn't walking the yard, he literally got away with zero mistakes his last start. Gausman is the 5 right now.

If we made the NLDS and it started today, I go Soroka-Fried-Folty-Julio

Braves select Shea Langeliers, catcher from Baylor with the 9th pick in the draft

Drafting a catcher that high. I wonder if they're gonna try and teach him a new position. Bryce Harper was drafted as a catcher, and so was Alex Jackson. Both were converted into outfielders, but Jackson had to move back to catcher because otherwise, he'd never see a MLB field.

Watching MLB network, he looks like a good defensive catcher and all the analyst are high on him as a catcher. I can't see them moving him to another position

Also had 0 errors this past season for Baylor, seems like he could be an average to above average hitter

Probably took him because Contreras is the only catcher on the farm worth a shit.

Threw out 70% of basestealers in2018 and 56% this year. Im iffy on the pick because I think Contreras is gonna be a stud but we will see

Dude, you are a total embarrassment to this great Braves thread! I enjoy visiting this thread and respect everyone who posts here except for you because you have a very low baseball IQ.

I know more about Braves history than all you other fuckers put together. Especially you, wolfpack boy!
