yes. i would much rather gamble on the "future" than gamble on the lifeless "premium" talent we had.

2014 Padres BA rankings . . .
@BravesReddit
Fried #3
Peterson #7
Dustin #10
AND Mallex Smith (.327/.414/.475 in A+ ball)
don't we already have a pretty good second base prospect? Does anyone have some info on the pitcher we received? I'm driving to work lol

Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I really hate that we picked up a pitcher who went under the knife but Peterson sounds like he could develop into a hell of a leadoff hitter. Almost seems like they are trying to replace Peraza because another team really wants him.

Please tell me that Myers name hasn't been leaked because he hasn't been informed or something stupid like that?

Mallex Smith, an undersized OF going back to Atlanta, is very interesting. Blazing speed (88 SB last season) and hit over .300 in A ball.

Fried blew out his arm, and Dustin Peterson was NOT ranked #10. Per the BA handbook I have right here, he was #22. And then he was terrible for a whole 'nother year.
Mallex didn't even make the top 30, but he did have a good year.
Basically, all these rankings are not a good reflection of current reality.
Need to research these prospects more to form a final opinion, but my gut reaction is that we did better than I thought we would for Justin. I like the approach of going for prospects here versus another Shelby Miller type deal.

I love that we are targeting speed guys honestly. Still wish we would have gotten another pitcher but hopefully he comes back strong in 2016.

Jace Pederson is a v. good get for the Braves. That package ends up being an awful lot for 1 year of Justin Upton & still miss the playoffs.
