TOP 30 PROSPECTS: New Year's Eve Edition

Does anyone know if a compiled list of Braves prospect rankings exist? I was hoping someone had done this and would like to see the differences in each ranking.

It might make me feel better about some of these trades and where we rank among baseball.

Different lists use different criteria and come out at different times. Any "compilation" would be flawed by that. MLB.com is the best real-timer ranking I can think of. Besides mine, of course. The fact that no one puts any credibility in mine is irrelevant.

Over Weigel? I love that dude. He's always had electric stuff and has made good strides with his command.

They are the same age and Mader is ahead of him. I am not convinced Weigel is not the next in a long line of old prospects in the low minors that dominates and gets over hyped by Braves fans.

edit - Also he's a lefty and I think theres a lot higher chance to actually see the majors even if its just as a reliever.

You're right for the most up-to-date rankings. I personally prefer BA lists when they're recent, just because I like the addition of risk to their FV, so I can adjust in my head based on any differing opinions I have with the rankers.
 
Thanks for this update, Rico! ManBan is still listed as one of the Braves prospects on the official Braves website

.068 ERA 46Ks/26 innings will do that to people.....

"Everything is happening so fast as I went from being unsure if I would get drafted to heading to Danville and now up to Rome," said Clouse. "I love being in the Braves organization and I'm just going out there and trying to do my best."

**I still haven't really seen any type of scouting report on this dude. Does anybody have info there?

I like his start.. even more that he is doing it in Rome and not just rookie ball.

Some scout earned his Christmas bonus by uncovering him out there. He and Jared James are two of the most promising late-round picks I've ever seen by the Braves.
 
Hate that we are burning a year of control of Swanson on this putrid team. Would have much rather seen him finish the year out in AA, start 2017 in Gwinnett, and then if he did well there, promote him mid season. Would have been the much smarter play.

I don't get why folks are so upset about losing that extra year of arbitration for Swanson because I feel pretty confident that if Dansby is what most scouts and we as avid/knowledgeable fans think he can/will be, then the Braves will at least lock him up like we did with Teheran, Kimbrel, and Simmons by buying out his last few arb years and the first few FA years at least! Wouldn't surprise me either for them to lock him up even longer if he is what we think he'll be.

I would get the frustration if it was someone who is really good and we had money crunch situation but Dansby is a cornerstone player and I just don't see how he's not in Atlanta for AT LEAST the first few FA years.

I know some folks don't believe we're going to be competitive next year while the front office does, but these at-bats could be extremely valuable in his learning curve if we are there next year and if not he's going to have a year + worth of experience going into 2018 (when I think we will be extremely competitive) compared to just one year.

My main thing is this, if the F.O thinks he's capable of playing at this level now, then bring him up. Like I said, I truly believe the losing of an extra year isn't going to matter so bring him up when they think he's ready.
 
Still no Ray Patrick Didder love? I don't think he's a top thirty guy, but I do think he warrants honorable mention. 30+ SBs and 15 OF assists. His penchant for getting hit by pitches inflates his OBP, but he's had a decent season in Rome.
