interesting topic....i like

well i was born in 83 but only by 8 days....so i am almost with you on the 84 year BC but not quite

anyway some of the Braves i found:
we actually did not have a 1st or 2nr round pick according to this site
4th round - Ronnie Gant (did you know he was drafted as a SS!?!)
9th - Jay Buhner (had no idea we drafted him)
27th (pick 677) - Mark Lemke

2 world series starters ain't to bad



some others:

1st overall - Tim Belcher
1st round (19) - Roger Clemens
1st (26) - Dan Plesac
2nd (30) - Chris Sabo
2nd (32) - Dave Magadan
3rd (67) - Wally joyner
5th (108) - Lenny Harris
27th (664) - Matt Williams
30th (739) - Todd Zeile

overall there weren't alot of big names aside from clemens of course
but there were some steals in the late rounds with matt williams and todd zeile

Wow.. Kind of suprised pedifile steroid pusher was past up 18 times before being drafted

another wow-- I thought you were older than that, saintsfan. lol.  You have a very mature air about you and a thorough knowledge of the game.. knowledge like that of a 60 year old :-P

Gotta love a guy that is young but knows his stuff though

Thank you also Vol98. '78 was my birthyear too. I didn't know Kent "If I lay down a late tag on Ron Gant I'll just lift him up off the base altogether to get the call from the obviously  well paid ump" Hrbek was taken in that year. I still have late night cold sweats over that call against Minnesota in the World Series.
