    Midseason farm system grades: NL

    Atlanta Braves

    Grade: B+

    A loaded farm system coming into the season, the Braves have not disappointed in terms of their top talent. Ronald Acuna Jr. and Mike Soroka each moved up to the Majors, and though they've battled some injuries, they've played key roles for the NL East leaders through the season's first three months.

    There's also still plenty of talent on the rise in the Minors. Kolby Allard is an International League All-Star in his first crack at Triple-A and teammate Austin Riley was having a breakout campaign before hitting the disabled list. Ian Anderson, Joey Wentz, Touki Toussaint and Cristian Pache have all made positive strides this year, and Drew Waters might be the breakout prospect of the season after going in the second round last year, making this is an organization with a scary good outlook.

    The Braves drop out of the A range because their affiliates collectively rank 29th out of 30 farm systems in winning percentage, but there have been too many good individual parts here to ignore.

    The ranking system they use is completely garbage and virtually meaningless. You mean the Braves system is the same as the Pirates and Cards? Come on...

    What is Riley's injury? I'm getting a little concerned over him being out so long
