It can be considered a really good day on the farm if no one else does anything. Thats crazy.

Had to make a tour through the June 2015 draft thread for kicks. EVERYONE hated the Soroka pick. It was universally despised by all except the most devout PosiBraves. In fact, it seemed like everyone hated most of our picks. And yet, we seemed to have done pretty well with Herbert and Riley and some other position guys stepping forward.
I mention this on the back of a few posters saying that he may in fact be the best pitcher in the system right now. Just goes to show how little we know when all this unfolds.

Is he on any kind of innings limit that anyone has heard? Like 100 or 120?

The Braves other 'big' signing last year was Juan Morales SS, although his money ($450k) was significantly lower than either Cruz/Pache.
He's been scuffling in the DSL so far;
58 ABs, .190/.266/.276, 1 2B, 2 3B, 5 BB, 14 SO, 1 SB.
Encouraged by Fried's progress.... I would think a promotion should be on the horizon soon.
I would imagine that he has one. It will be interesting to see if they put him in Carolina at any point. He may stay in Rome for the year and skip Carolina and go straight to Mississippi next year. He could be on track to arrive in Atlanta as a 23 year old in 2018.
Fried was the #2 rated HS arm in the 2012 draft behind his high school teammate Lucas Giolito. Lucas Sims was the 6th highest rated HS arm in that class according to BA. Lance McCullers was a HS arm in that draft and was #3.
Id expect Carolina maybe for the final 1\3 of the year. Let him get a good start before shutting him down.

Good to see this from Fried. Dude could be really damn good.
I still think Lucas Sims can be really good, but he's getting on that border to where he needs to start showing that his stuff is translating.
After the stretch he had to close last year and this year early, I'm not that worried about him. I think he has top of the rotation stuff if he can learn to manage mistakes and damage control a bit better.

And as I've said about 20 times, not be his own worst enemy.
Really hyped about Wentz. Wish we had taken his buddy Pint too. Only a matter of time before they pitch against each other in the majors.

Nice debt by Wentz and great day for Fried. Curious to see what they do with Fried at this point. I could see him heading to Carolina for a few starts and then being shut down mid-August.
PS--Cruz and Pache (how does one pronounce his name?) off to good starts.

This is the South. Don't matter.
I highly doubt it. The dude has the control of a 7 year old boy.
Fried has 16 pickoffs in 15 games this year. What the heck.

Thats usually the last thing to develop for pitchers

Something is off with sims. He earned a promotion to AAA at 21. He just completely fell off the cliff about six starts ago. Hopefully not an injury he is trying to play through. Probably some stupid coach who tinkered with his delivery.
