Umm okay, I could list plenty of players the Braves have signed at that age that they've moved on from. But since you bring up Teheran I'll go with Randall Delgado who of course we traded. I guess Delgado despite being signed so young wasn't a son of the organization. :)
Seriously, this line of argumentation has no basis in reality. Teheran is still here because they didn't get their asking price for him. Simple as that.
If we get rid of him, I'm fully off the bandwagon. If there was a guy in another organization OPS'ing at well over .800 in AAA with an elite arm at 23, we'd be asking what it would take to get that guy.
We have a huge hole at catcher going forward, so if we let him go, I'm out.
We pretty much have to have Mallex in CF and Bethancourt at C next year.

Actually there might be a corollary to the thethe axiom.
Braves do not trade sons of the organization. Except in pairs. Delgado & Prado. Peraza & Avilan.
That shows you how much the Braves care about these guys. They make sure they have a buddy to hang out with.
So Bethancourt and Albies?
