"You can't go against the strength of the draft," Clark said. "This year it appears the strength of the draft is pitching." While the Braves will likely draft a few pitchers in the early rounds, they will also be seeking to further strengthen the catcher position. Brian McCann, another Georgia high school product who was taken in the second round last year, is one of the few legitimate catchers in the system, who has a legitimate shot at one day playing in the Majors. Top Choice? Based on the team's needs, past history, and turn in the draft, their top selection could be either: Nick Markakis, a left-hander from Young Harris JC, Daniel Bard, a right-hander from Christian Academy in Charlotte, N.C., or Tim Battle, of McIntosh High School in Peachtree City, Ga. --
