7/2/2015 THURSDAY MINORS THREAD ... Thurman rehabs, Riley shows up
I was bragging on obtaining Blair Walters last year, but he and Alex White are two of the best-looking scrap-heap projects I can recall seeing. White might be MLB ready very soon if he can master the strike zone a little bit, while Walters is pitching below his skill level at Carolina. But the Braves' system has been the Land of Opportunity for pitchers all year long; I believe the count is now 26 (or 27) different pitchers have been used this year, and Banuelos makes 28.
