McGriff to be 1B Coach for the American team.

It has to be at least slightly concerning that 50 players made up these 2 rosters, and the Braves only placed 1 guy total in the game. They have focused on acquiring pitching prospects, and none of them are on these teams.

Not concerning. But yes, no one in my opinion deserved to be on the team. I can see the case for Swanson, but I don't think he has been lights out. Our minor leaguers have been shakey at times and some are starting to come around. I am not worried at this point, most of our elite pitching is in lower levels. Newcomb and Sims are the two that need to start showing stuff. (Blair, Ellis, Gant, Whalen, Jenkins are all MOR or BP pieces)..

It's not like these teams are made up of guys shredding the minors. They're just generally good prospects, a lot of top guys and some that aren't.

I agree, though, it doesn't concern me that we only have 1 guy on the rosters. Albies likely didn't go just because he went last year, and again, it's not like this is the top 50 prospects in baseball.
