    There are two guys that I think we are missing the boat on by NOT trading them...Newk and Ender.

    I would love to send Ender, Newk and others for a Kluber deal.

    I like Ender, but let’s face it...Snitker will bat him lead off as long as he is here. Each year of that contract he stays...the less valuable he becomes.

    I doubt Newk ever becomes more than what he is, but he is the “stuff” lefty with control that a team would gamble on.

    If the Tribe would take those two I'd do it, but they never seemed to get serious about trading Kluber once they got Carrasco resigned to a friendly deal.

    I probably missed this earlier in the thread, but Romo is off the market now

    Me too. We've seen lots of quality relievers go for cheap recently...

    Romo - 1/$2.5M
    Kelley - 1/$2.75M
    Holland - 1/$3.25M
    Brach - 1/$4.35M
    Boxberger - 1/$2.2M
    Parker - 1/$1.8M

    I guess we could always call up Moylan. Sure we could get good value signing from him.

    John Sickels of the Athletic top 100:

    19) Ian Anderson, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): First-round pick in 2016, age 20, 2.49 ERA in 119 innings in Single-A and Double-A, 142/49 K/BB, with just two homers allowed; mid-90s fastball with above-average curveball and solid change-up; strong command for his age; looks like future workhorse; ETA 2020.

    31) Mike Soroka, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 21, first-round pick in 2015, posted 2.00 ERA in 27 innings in Triple-A, then 3.51 ERA in 26 innings in MLB with combined 52/13 K/BB but pitching time limited by shoulder trouble; heavy 92-94 fastball, slider, curve, change all solid, throws strikes; ready to be No. 3 type if health OK; ETA 2019.

    34) Kyle Wright, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 23, first-round pick in 2017 from Vanderbilt; 3.46 ERA with 133/51 K/BB in 138 innings in Double-A/Triple-A; classic right-handed starter with 94- to 97-mph fastball, curve, slider, change; all pitches very good, but command can be erratic; No. 3 starter projection with a chance to be more; ETA 2019.

    36) Austin Riley, 3B, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 21, comp-round pick in 2015, hit .294/.360/.522 with 19 homers in Double-A/Triple-A; has issues with contact (129 whiffs) and approach but bat speed and power compensated so far; glove can stick at third base; could have short-term consistency issues but regular projection is obvious; ETA late 2019.

    38) Touki Toussaint, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 22, first-round pick by Diamondbacks in 2014; famously electric arm took large step forward in ’18, with 2.38 ERA, 163/53 K/BB in 136 innings in Double-A/Triple-A; fanned 32 in 29 MLB innings with 4.03 ERA; still needs tighter control but fun to watch with mid-90s fastball and crazy-good curve; ETA 2019.

    52) Cristian Pache, OF, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 20, signed in 2015, hit .279/.307/.410 in Single-A and Double-A with nine homers; plus speed, plus throwing arm, and average raw power that can increase further; plate discipline needs work and OBP will be an issue without adjustments; defense is Gold Glove caliber; upside: the 2013-2014 version of Carlos Gomez; ETA 2021.

    76) Bryse Wilson, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 21, 3.44 ERA with 143/36 K/BB in 126 innings between Single-A, Double-A, and Triple-A; often overlooked in pitching-rich Braves system but still an elite prospect; 92- to 96-mph fastball, strong slider and workable change; mid-rotation potential but would also be fine reliever; ETA 2019.

    85) Drew Waters, OF, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B): Age 20, second-round pick in ’17 hit .293/.343/.476 in Single-A with nine homers, 23 steals; switch-hitter with plus speed and growing power, but needs tighter strike zone to be a leadoff man; ETA late 2021.

    Atlanta Braves: CJ Alexander, 3B; Huascar Ynoa, RHP Are listed as break out candidates

    It would take more, but say a Ender, Newk plus a prospect or two should be in the ballpark.

    Less valuable in trades but to on field value to the team. The Braves are trying to win right now and have nobody to replace him.

    Teams with an existing hole in the OF and no money to even sign Brantley don’t typically trade away 3 win OFers under cheap control.

    Had to be an oversight. May be they got Waters and Pachec confused. No way is Waters a top 50 prospect at this point.

    He’s on the list. In fact he’s the highest listed ATL prospect at number 19.

    Yeah an oversight by the one who copied the list. You know there is no way he would be an oversight to McDaniel.
