    Like I said, prepare to be disappointed/surprised. Can't dig up the tweet but someone has already tweeted that the preliminary minor league assignments are already completely different from what the Braves have typically done for a very long time.

    If it was AA's choice, he would not have moved Acuna up from A+ ball last year. Heck, I wasn't on here yet but I was on another forum questioning the move big time. I've already swallowed crow on it, the reason why I was questioning it was high strikeouts and while he had been picking it up, he wasn't exactly killing it (yet).

    So I heavily doubt that Pache sees higher than the M-Braves this year and at best, it'll be like Riley's assignments from last year.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Your post notwithstanding, we would like what board you are referring to, the Scout/247 (we already pilfered most knowledgeable, best of the best members from that one) one or another so we can abduct intelligent members from it?

    A lot of the huzzah group are remnants from the espn boards or at least were originally. I haven't been by there in awhile.

    I'm amazed most of y'all have stuck with this place in what's gonna be 5 years now. That's even with the subscription rates going up due to inflation.

    Never heard of it.

    ESPN board, omg, it was the worst. You had the TheThe's of the world and the poster I haven't seen in a while that props the Zombie Expos and Harper, what's his name to counter Thethe on each post.

    Anyone knows what happened to him?

    that is who I was talking about. Anyone knows where he is? Sav doesn't ban people and if he did it wouldn't be long.

    I hope nothing bad happened to him. The Nats loss will not put him in the deep end I hope.

    RedBaron, Sam2525, Bobas(who started huzzah I think), would be good additions.

    It would be beyond amazing if the Braves hit on all 3 of those guys being 4+ win players.

    Its starting to look pretty likely with Acuna and Albies. I don't know how much Pache's defense will prop up his value, but if he was a .280 guy with 10 homers per year and a decent amount of stolen bases, it would seem like his defense would be good enough to get him close to that mark no?
