Comment: The Mock Braves picked Chad Rodgers at 100, and so did the real Braves three days later! Someone get the Mock Braves Scouting Director a psychic phone-in program. He also got Steve Evarts to the Braves which also happened in real life. The exact names vary but the general philosophy in both groups is similar: high ceiling guys, mostly from high school, focused on pitchers.
