Posted this afternoon (Wednesday), Mayo notes several specific changes regarding the Braves:
Touki from No. 73 to No. 40
Bryse Wilson from unranked to No. 96
Pache from No. 54 to No. 68
Gohara from No. 58 to No. 78
Allard from No. 87 to No. 100
Assume any other changes were minimal.
Allard and Gohara make sense, but I’m surprised to see Pache slide down the rankings, when consensus seems to be he improved his stock this year.Originally Posted by rico43

What caused Pache to drop?
Why did Pache drop? I'd figure he would have risen. Weird.
Pache didn't really take the leap forward with the bat folks were hoping for. After hitting a few HRs in A+, he was back to his powerless self upon being promoted to AA. The Ks stayed flat (or worse) and the BB rate went down.
"Dropping" from 54 to 68 isn't really very meaningful. He more or less remained flat this year in terms of overall value.

Surprised Allard is still on the list. Unless he was injured, everyone got to see his real stuff and it was pretty mediocre.
Pache's struggles, such as they were, in AA were given as the reason. Upon promotion to Mississippi, he hit "only" .260 with 28 strikeouts in 29 games. Only five XBH in 104 ABs.
Seems about right, Pache slipping that much isnt a huge deal.
Allard slipping isnt a huge surprised, i'd ship him this winter while he still has "some" value. Same with Gohara. Good to see Touki moving up.

I think people underestimate the black hole that is Trustmark Park. That place is a pitcher's dream and it gobbles up homers for breakfast, lunch, linner, and dinner. I'm not saying that is the sole reason why Pache would struggle in AA, but I know a ton of prospects whose numbers tanked in that park artificially

I know that this is said a lot, but how insane is it that we have managed to compete this year while still keeping 10 top 100 level prospects in the system. I know pipeline isn't the best source, by any stretch, but almost all of those guys are consensus top 100 guys. The only exception really being Allard, who I'm pretty much sold out on. Wilson and Waters are still kinda fringy top 100 in my eyes. But even if you remove all three of those guys, you still have 7. And I would argue that Contreras should probably be on that list as well after posting an .800 OPS season. Then you have guys like Wentz and Muller who are right there as well.
We've been incredibly fortunate with how all of this has panned out so far. We should be able to keep our window open for a long long time, barring anything catastrophic
Yep. Really shows how impressive Acuna and Riley's power is
good drafting can do that
