I was listening to a podcast where the pocaster was really high on Waldrep comparing him to Snell as a ceiling for Waldrep. I have heard anywhere to a pen arm 6th/7th inning if he doesn't fix his fb--to closer to 5th starter to Ace. It will be interesting to see what is closer to the truth. Braun and Baumann may turn out as well. I have my fingers crossed for Baumann, if he can add velo and keep his control the sky could be the limit. That 2020 draft was spectacular. Would you say the drafts have been better without Dana Brown? A short sample size but to this untrained eye, seems like the Braves are somehow doing better without Dana. I could be very wrong. Thanks for this, great article.
My immediate observation for the drafts without Dana Brown is that they seem to be not trying to get as many of those position change players and that they've had a better idea of the archetype of pitching that they want in those drafts.
As I'm making those spreadsheets, this is definitely worth paying more attention to so I can write a follow-up article. Thanks for the idea!

I am a huge Dana Brown fan and I thought for sure the drop off would be considerable. That notion has been proven very wrong.
