Also, does FW have a dilemma or what? CB looks to have turned the corner with the bat. His production at the plate has been night and day from his first three years and he's doing it while only being 21 at AA. Would like to see the walks go up but he's not k'ing an awful lot either with 50 at 360 AB's. He had a terrible May and a below average June but has been raking the last two months. If he keeps this up at the plate with his defense he may be starting sooner rather than later.
Our scouting department is unreal. For whatever reason "scouts" who rank farm systems don't give Atlanta enough credit. It seems our guys get under valued while in the minors yet all we do is produce a massive amount of big leaguers every year. Just look at how many curent and former pitchers in the bigs who were developed in our farm.
