List of Atlanta Braves first-round draft picks

 * Nominator(s): Courcelles 01:36, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

29 of 31. Only the White Sox and the Giants to go in this Featured Topic drive. Though there's no hall-of-famers here, this is a more accomplished list of players than some of these have been. Enjoy. Courcelles 01:36, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Comment - best I could do...! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:17, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Now to go work on the White Sox list. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 05:38, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * As a further comment, there's enough room for an extra picture addition if you desire; both Wainwright or Heyward would be good options there. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 16:15, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good catch. Our picture of Wainwright isn't very good, (being mostly of his back) but Heyward is a good addition, and there's something interesting to say about him, too.  Courcelles 16:31, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't "a no hitter" be "a no-hitter"?
 * Seen it both ways, but since our article is at no-hitter, makes sense to do it that way. Done. Courcelles 20:04, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Support gah, very good indeed. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:06, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments –
 * After "Two selections have come from outside the 50 United States", shouldn't there be a colon instead of a comma? Also, I'm not sure the number is needed with the country there.
 * There are a couple of capitalized Awards that could stand to be in blue with their respective links.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 20:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Done both. The reason I have "50 United States" is because the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is part of the United States, so without the 50 the sentence becomes a bit nonsensical (or requires a discussion of the political status of the COPR.) Courcelles 20:48, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Support – Meets FL standards.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Same as above: having some quantification of the importance of the first round pick vs other rounds by say looking at the median salary would be nice. Nergaal (talk) 04:52, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * And then? Draw our own conclusions?  Looks like WP:OR to me.  The Rambling Man (talk) 07:32, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
