Happy Soroka day. Does anything else matter at this point.

[WaitingFor2017]

Expecting a huge game from Albers today.

[bravesfanMatt]

Expecting a huge game from Albers today.

For what team though.

[SJ24]

Albies and Acuña lead off for Gwinnett at 1.

[SJ24]

Ronald is in center.

[thethe]

Wentz doing Wentz things so far today.

[striker42]

Wentz is so good. Best pitching prospect we have under AA.

[SJ24]

Ozzie broke up a no-hitter in the 6th with a bunt.

[msstate7]

Swanson 1-3

[blueagleace1]

After getting to see Albies for three games (yes I know it's a SSS) and Swanson for most of the year, it's my opinion (take it for what it's worth) that Albies is/would be the superior defender at SS. I think switching them whilst at AAA would be a good thing. To me, their arms are similar -we'll call it even- but Ozzie gets better reads, has more range and has softer hands. Again, just my opinion and no matter who ends up where, our future MIF will be in good hands for the foreseeable future because you can't go wrong with either at either position.

P.S- Peterson's defense in LF is very underrated. Only got to see him the first game as he DH'ed the second game and didn't play the third game but I was VERY impressed. I'm not saying he's Jason Heyward / Ender Inciarte gold glove type defender but to me, he deserves a little more credit for making a nice transition from third to the outfield.

I mentioned the Albies/Swanson comparison a lot last year especially Albies. His range is excellent and I've always maintained that Albies until Acuña's ascent barreled more baseball's than any of our young position players. If more people see him here they would be surprised.

Looking more like Wentz-day.

[thethe]

Guess Wentz being considered one of the best pitching prospects in baseball is not that ridiculous after all.

[thethe]

Wentz is so good. Best pitching prospect we have under AA.

Love Wentz but still think Anderson has better stuff. High GB rate as well as k rste. Great combination.

[striker42]

Love Wentz but still think Anderson has better stuff. High GB rate as well as k rste. Great combination.

Wentz's K rate of over 10 combines with a sub-3 BB rate. Anderson's K rate is a bit higher but his BB rate is 4.58 per 9. The difference in control is a big deal. Neither give up HRs.

The better control, the better secondary stuff, and coming from the left side puts Wentz above Anderson to me.

[Hudson2]

It's a pretty awesome discussion to have bc the farm is so strong. And we could add another top 8-10 pick

A goof portion of the debates are consensus top 100 prospects.

[thethe]

Very likely that touki and Wentz are top 100 prospects. With newk graduations that's still 10 of the top 100. That's the start to a lot of fun baseball

[Tapate50]

Touki isn't that close until he maintains his pace for another 130 IP or so.

Wentz is basically a lock top 100 at this point for me anyway. His last 7 starts have been excellent
