Fangraphs midseason prospect updates

[CyYoung31]

Good Cops is so much better. just because "golden wren" has a color doesn't mean all the brigade nicknames do

But Coppollela’s prospects likely wont be as good as Wren’s. Therefore, their level is copper.

Wren "has" two prospects basically. all prospects combined...Coppy's will do better.
it does say a lot that Wren's only two guys were lottery ticket international signings that happened to work out with little-to-no input from Wren himself. classic.

Are we going to have another 20 page argument about whether or not GMs get credit for the production of their scouting teams?

Thanks, but I'm late for a more enjoyable appointment to have my toenails ripped out.

Braves should bring back a former Golden Wren in Mike Minor since he's been really good since leaving Atlanta.

Wren messed up not signing him to a 12-year deal to make sure the Braves got his really good years.

Coppy should have never released him

Had should surgery in May of 2015 and missed the rest of the year and then released in the off season. Missed all of 2016 as well.

Isn't that the rub with pitchers? Teams lose control over them before they get good, then someone else enjoys the benefits.

The prospects seems to line up so well with what we are going to need in the future. I really like Pache and Waters. Along with Riley I think we have 3 young cheap position players to plug into the lineup that are highly likely to be average or better players. I dont know where we are going to be spending money in the short term. We dont seem interested in paying big money to closers. I like some of the FA SP options coming up like Wheeler and Bumgarner but we have so many options for the rotation already and they might even pick up Teheran's option. I think the Braves need to strike while the window is open and try to bring in an elite FA like Rendon. That leaves 2 spots for Riley/Waters/Pache to compete over. Odds are injury and under performance will get them all a chance to get significant playing time.

this is hardly true across the board. hell minor even had a really good season with atlanta.

[Tapate50]

Wait, I thought you didn't want to extend a pitcher passed arbitration because they were ticking time bombs.

It appears my whole life is a lie.

Precisely why I was critical of last year's decisions to put Bryse Wilson and Kyle Wright on the big club. The world doesn't end with decisions like that, but it sure truncates a lot of organizational flexibility in terms of options and service-time considerations.
