7. Atlanta Braves: Wheeler is the obvious choice here due to Atlanta's affinity for local talent, but don’t assume the Braves will stay away from the high school route if he's gone. Alex White generates wildly varying opinions; some think he's a steal here, and some think he's an overdraft. Pick: Alex White, RHP, University of North Carolina Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus mocks up the draft Here's White, once again. He didn't have the Orioles taking Wheeler, but then he had the Giants taking him. The more I hear White as the consensus choice at #7, the more I think it will be someone else. The Braves usually have their own playbook.
