Yep...and here is a good reason why the Braves minor league system isn't as good as it used to be
"Most important, they had the players. After conducting a study, the Braves found their players 25 and under generated 18.2 wins above replacement, Wren said. The next highest was the Los Angeles Angels with 12 — and 11 came from Mike Trout. The Braves had more WAR from their under-25 players than the lowest 11 teams in the majors combined."

Wait a second. That sounds like stat head talk. Bill Shanks must be rolling in his grave.

The X Factor for the Gnats is Boras being the agent of a couple of their key players.

Don't worry mlb will just up the money they give the nats on the side so they can re-sign their players.
