Next month's #1 pick could come from Georgia

Bravochick,

I always have thought that georgia has produced some of the best quality players for baseball, only behind FLA and Tex becuase of sheer size. Its amazing that one of the smallest states can consistently produce major league quality players. Just look at Danny Hall and Georgia Tech and see how many players come from there. Lets hope this guy succeeds as well.

oh hell, i shouldve checked my geography before opening my mouth.  thanks for the heads up BC. 

hopefully I know more about baseball than I seem to about geography, and to think i was born in decatur.

and yes, chipper definite for mvp or boycott mlb

While the topic is brought up, let me point out the reason we don't have a pick in this years first round is because the Mets have it along with a sandwich pick between the first and 2nd rounds for losing Tom Glavine via free agency.

While this seems bad, remember that next year we may have 3 picks - ours, the teams who picks up Teixeira, and a sandwich pick.  This is one of the things that people don't think about when they say - trade him now so we can get some value . . . etc.  If we trade him we lose 2 first round picks during this draft, and there will be some very good players selected in the first round of this years and next years drafts.  So if we do indeed trade him somehow (I don't really think it is possible) we not only lose Tex, we lose 2 first round picks in the first year player draft.  The trade better have very high value!

Go Braves '08!!!
