I like that. Even if they move to 154 games, play every NL team 10 times and then have 14 interleague games (since it won't go away). They say it's about travel, but Texas and Houston would probably be more refreshed and save money if they played AL Central teams more than having to travel to Seattle and Oakland 3 times a year.Originally Posted by Bj1133
Atlanta is closer to Cincinnati and St. Louis than any of their NL East "Rivals".
This guy is mid to upper 90s off the mound with above average secondary stuff, but he might just be the best prep bat in the draft as well.
That guy is a stud as well. Hunter Greene and Jordon Adell are two high school prospects that are really emerging this summer, and from a college point of view, I think Jeren Kendall may be the guy to keep an eye on.
Perfect Game has updated their top 100 prospects list for the 2017 draft:

They have Kyle Wright first. What's the scouting report on him?
MLB Pipeline podcast said he will most likely be drafted to be a pitcher. They said it would be very surprising if that wasn't the case.
After the first round, Hunter Greene leads the players in the HR derby with Jordon Adell 2nd.
Think the Braves will have a cushy lead for first last place team by the end of the month.
Hunter Greene finished 2nd in the HR derby at the UAAA game.
Then he went on the mound and sat at 94-98 mph.
Of course, 8 of the top 10 are pitchers, which you know we will take one of them. I will be floored if we take a position guy.
Cincy and Minnesota win.
Rays were 2 outs away but just let Oakland tie it in the 9th.
Tampa loses by giving up 2 homers in the 9th.
Still gonna be 6 up in the L column over them and our schedule is about to get very difficult.
Still looks like a pretty good night, 4-5 up on Min/Cincy in the L column provided we lose.

That guy is just ridiculous!!
i'd probably take a hitter given the depth of pitching we now have, but if there's a superstar SP thats in discussion for 1.
It's not like we couldnt use him.
Way too early to tell right now.
Braves need to go 30-34 in their final 64 games to avoid a 100 loss season.
Braves now 5 games up (?) in loss column in the standings, 7 games up in the loss column in the Fangraphs and 538 projected end-of-season standings.
Great news.
Atlanta- 33-65
Minnesota- 37-60
Cincinnati- 38-59
Tampa- 38-59
Arizona- 40-57
San Diego- 42-56
Milwaukee- 41-54
Would be quite delicious if Minnesota gained another game on Atlanta today. I sense Atlanta and Minnesota will split their 2-game series this upcoming week.
