    BP's Top 101 Released

    Braves land "only" 7 guys on BP's Top 101: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/p...-eloy-jimenez/

    Ronald Acuna (1)
    Kolby Allard (24)
    Mike Soroka (33)
    Kyle Wright (42)
    Joey Wentz (45)
    Luiz Gohara (62)
    Ian Anderson (66)

    It's a pretty bad list, as evidenced just by looking at the order of the Braves prospects.

    BP isn't worth the subscription fee anymore, and has almost been dropped entirely from my daily reading list. The only thing the site is good for is its play index, so I'll throw a couple bucks their way for 1-2 days of access to the data when I want to do some research using it.

    Yeah they have really fallen off. Fangraph's list is supposed to come out today as well.

    Also #1 on ESPN/Keith Law's list. It is honestly shocking to me. I thought that Ohtani would be the consensus #1, but people must think REALLY high of Acuna

    Acuna destroyed the three highest levels of the minors last season at the age of 19. With Ohtani's supposed elbow issues I'm not surprised at all that most places are rating Acuna higher.

    Their chat is equally bad. Their lead prospects guy was asked about reports of Allard's fastball going backwards, which has been written by basically everyone, and he says he hasn't heard those reports.

    That's why we should have been willing to trade him to Miami (plus more) for Yelich. Gotta support AA on that decision.
