[bravesfanMatt]

Watching top 50 prospects on mlb network....into the 30s no braves

89. Kolby Allard, LHP, Braves
56. Aaron Blair, RHP, Braves
29. Ozzie Albies, SS, Braves

so far..at #22 you know Newcomb and Swanson will be there.. I thought Riley would make it too.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Newcomb comes in at 21

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Swanson was number 10 last year. He will be in top 15 going into the year so it will be interesting to see his rank ahead of time

yeah..Touki fell off the list.. most of the Braves have remained the same so far. Blair/Allard/and Newcomb fell a few spots and Ozzie jumped up a few spots.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Swanson will jump from 10. Let's see where

Blair was 61 last year so he made a slight jump. Allard was 88 and drops a spot to 89, still young. Newcomb had the biggest drop from 19 to 21.

Swanson jumps to 8.

yup, wrong on Blair. thanks..

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

I think overall there is still cause to be excited. Albies has lots of potential, as does Swanson, Newcomb, allard, etc.im curious if touki can put it together to be a stud. Same with Jenkins.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I am ready for the ratings to come out so I can update my spread sheet.

 

[praeceps93]

So: Dansby Swanson at #8, Sean Newcomb at #21, Ozzie Albies at #29, Aaron Blair at #56, and Kolby Allard at #89. Not too shabby. With Sims, Fried, Toussaint, Riley, and Soroka all probably having solid shots at jumping into the list by midseason (my opinion) with a good first half. Not really any danger of anyone dropping off the list. Overall a fairly solid list, I'd say.

Prob seems to be that division foes have just as many top 100 guys and more mlb assets and money.

Nats seem to screw it up but they have two very high guys and some depth to go with the MVP

 

[Hudson2]

I'd agree with the list but I figured Riley would end up on there since he's the 6th best 3rd base prospect. But by midseason we could have 2 or 3 more on here with the draft pick.

No one else in the division has a farm system with the overall quality of ours. And by mid season that gap will have increased.

BA's usually much more conservative when it comes to ranking players with so little experience highly on their lists - much of that came from Callis.

That's a good sign for Swanson then.
