So far for Braves. Acuna's probably all that's left but 8 in top 100 is impressive.

97- Austin Riley.
83- Max Fried.
53- Kolby Allard.
51- Ian Anderson.
49- Luiz Gohara.
31- Mike Soroka.
30- Kyle Wright.
2- Ronald Acuna.

Gohara low imo

Acuna was 2nd.

I think that list is better than BA's top 100 for the Braves. Only minor issue would be Gohara being a tad low.

Same, i'd have Gohara around 30-35. But pretty good overall.

Basically 6 top 50 prospects? Yeah that’s pretty awesome

Looking at the prospect list we were just 1 pick away from Senzel and he’s ranked 7th overall, and while I love Wright, Royce Lewis who most thought would be there at 5 is ranked at 20. Our farm would look a lot better with those 2 guys.

Agree on Senzel, but Wright would have been my number 1 pick regardless of who was on the board. I’d have taken Gore over Lewis as well.

Where Lewis is ranked now has little to do with anything other than what was thought about him when he was drafted.

Could say the same about Wright, but Wright has been tested at higher level.

Braves would have rather have had senzel too per the braves.

Hopefully a hitter with that #8 guy

Hopefully the best player available.

Idk. Why is Moniak over Pache? And guys like Pint/Groome/Baz over Wentz?

[Tapate50]

Wilson will likely be there around mid season I’d think?

MLB never drops guys recently drafted by all that much. Always give them a benefit that their first full year is an adjustment period. If those guys struggle again they will plummet

I just went back and looked at Fangraph's top Braves prospects list from Dan Farnsworth in 2015, and it is still just as hilariously bad as it was back then. I can't believe that someone got paid to say that John Gant was a 60 FV prospect and Ryan Weber was a 55 hahaha

Wait a second - I thought FanGraphs was the "be-all, end-all" source for prospects...well, them and Keith Law.

Generally they are far more accurate with their grading than BA or Pipeline, but they are made up of individuals. Farnsworth left Fangraphs over two years ago and its the only time I can recall an article on Fangraphs being so ridiculous. But Fangraphs does have bad articles from time to time, the recent Kiley article about scouts being one of them.

I'd forgotten about that set of player rankings. And to think that for all of its ludicrousness, it caused debate on the board. It somehow had defenders.

i remember the comments on that article. they got mean, but it was truly the most absurd list i've ever seen. the guy clearly had no clue about the braves' system.

There may have been some defenders, but my memory was that pretty much everyone here said "Ryan Weber... Really?"

Idk. Why is Moniak over Pache? And guys like Pint/Groome/Baz over Wentz?

Because the first three have TOR stuff?

I'm high on Wentz, but let's not kid ourselves - Pint and Groome were in the conversation to go #1 when they were drafted, and Baz was widely credited with the best stuff for a high school arm in his class (and touches 98 now with plenty of room to add).

Wentz has a chance to be very good, but his ceiling just isn't what those three could be.

I'm just referring to the Braves players. I don't think they have over 8 that belong in the top 100.
