    Fangraphs Evaluating the 2016 Prospects: Atlanta Braves

    These rankings are so bad. I'm completely embarrassed for this Dan Farnsworth guy. I wouldn't be surprised if the article gets pulled in the next hour.

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/evalu...tlanta-braves/

    UPDATE: Farnsworth edited the rankings this evening and added this overall message (and some more context for some of his controversial picks).

    *EDIT: After a strong showing from internet commenters, I added a couple changes to this piece. You’ll see that Austin Riley and Kolby Allard were both added to the list, and I added notes under Ryan Weber’s report.

    I’m going to leave the overall grades the same here, though AS WITH EVERYBODY overall grades may change by the time I get to the composite prospect list. I originally wanted to put three overall grades in these reports, then thought about leaving them out entirely because of their likelihood to change, before finally settling on putting a likely future value in for some comparisons. The innernets say no. I’m new here.

    I’m reserving the right to change grades as I go along, this being the first time I’ve compiled reports on a volume this scale, though I have decided to put three values in for overall grades in the future lists. This should help clear up some of the questions people have about how I can agree that pitcher Mel Clark has a high ceiling, but only makes it on the list in the 45+ section. Enjoy!
