Draft Analysis
Chris Constancio at The Hardball Times graphs the tendancies of team to draft college vs. high school, and high school pitchers vs. college pitchers. (Make sure you read the explanation of the first chart, since it doesn't make sense at first glance.) The Dodgers and Braves seem to be bucking a trend by taking high school pitchers. It might be that since a large number of teams are concentrating on college pitchers, those two teams have a market they can exploit.

I've also read where the Braves believe by drafting HS pitchers, they are getting them before a college coach can ruin them.
