These are the types of high upside risks that you have to be aggressive about taking, or else you are going to end up with a team full of role players and not win much.

When this class comes in, the Braves are going to be absolutely loaded with high end talent and hopefully will be adding more through the draft in 2017. The high end guys that I can think of off the top of my head including the high end J2 signees that are projected to be signed by Atlanta: Dansby Swanson, Ozzie Albies, Sean Newcomb, Kolby Allard, Toukie Toussaint, Ian Anderson, Mike Soroka, Max Fried, Joey Wentz, Kyle Muller, Austin Riley, Ronald Acuna, Braxton Davidson, Kevin Maitan, Yunier Severino, Abraham Gutierrez, Brett Cleveland, AJ Minter, and Rio Ruiz.
