MLBTR mock expansion draft

[Enscheff]

MLBTR is doing a mock expansion draft, and they are making a pool for every team to determine which players are protected.

The rules and common sense dictate the Braves would protect the following players:

Freddie Freeman
Ronald Acuna Jr.
Ozzie Albies
Max Fried
Mike Soroka
Mike Foltynewicz
Dansby Swanson
Kyle Wright
Cristian Pache

So there are 6 more spots to fill. They listed 19 candidates, and I bolded the ones I would consider:

Johan Camargo
Travis d’Arnaud
Grant Dayton
Adam Duvall
Ender Inciarte
Alex Jackson
Luke Jackson
Chris Martin
A.J. Minter
Sean Newcomb
Austin Riley
Will Smith
Chad Sobotka
Touki Toussaint
Jeremy Walker
Jacob Webb
Bryse Wilson
Huascar Ynoa

At the end of the day, I keep the guys with the highest ceilings in Riley, Touki and Newk. These guys seem like locks.

I keep the the legit MLB players on reasonable contracts in d'Arn and Ender.

I let some other team take on the back end of Smith's deal if they want it, and they can have bench players like Duvall and Camargo if they want them.

My 6th spot goes to Minter in hopes he returns to the back end BP arm he showed in the past.

The Braves have a lot of MLB-ready arms I expect to be raided fairly heavily in this mock draft.
