Aarrgh. I forgot to add the link. Here it is: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2015/11/11/9715764/atlanta-braves-top-20-prospects-for-2016

John Sickels of Minor League Ball has updated his Top 2- Prospects in the Braves organization to reflect the trades with Arizona and LAA. Here are his grades: A: Dansby Swanson, SS A-/B+: Sean Newcomb, LHP B+: Aaron Blair, RHP; Hector Olivera, 3B-LF; Kolby Allard, LHP; Ozzie Albies, SS; B...

On Riley, Law said he would release his "just missed" list tomorrow. I'm sure we'll see Riley on that list and maybe Lucas Sims as well.

Keith Law released his Top 100 prospect list this morning. Seven Braves were on the list and here is where they fell: 13. Dansby Swanson SS 20. Ozhaino Albies SS 30. Sean Newcomb LHP 39. Aaron Blair RHP 43. Kolby Allard LHP 80. Touki Toussaint RHP 96. Max Fried LHP A few takeaways: He's...

Yeah, and I thought about that as well and meant to include it in the post. Glavine was pitching in the steroid ERA, which inflates his numbers a bit, but ERA+ should be adjusted to that, if I understand the statistic correctly. It's just another angle to look at, that I didn't see anyone else...

People say that Teheran isn’t an ace, which got me to thinking, “What exactly is an ‘ace?’” I picked out Tom Glavine from the group of that “Big 3” group from the 90’s to see if everyone on here thought that he was an ace. Yes, I know I’m comparing Teheran to a 300 game winner and a Hall of...

Yep. Totally forgot about Zobrist. Silly on my part. It still leaves a lot of lefties in the lineup, should they add Inciarte. I'm not saying don't go after guys with high K rates. I'm just saying that I get scared seeing someone do it in the minor leagues and, to an extent, in the major...

I'm big on Baez and Soler. My only issue with them is a high strikeout rate. Those type of guys scare the crap out of me, but I think the potential that both of them bring is top of the line. That being said, I don't think the Cubs will trade both of them, especially now that Baez is slated to...

FWIW @jcrasnick: The #Astros have inquired on #Braves CF Ender Inciarte. Presumably would have to move Carlos Gomez to make a deal work.

Haha It was explained to me that the FanFest would be treated like the Caravan with players, giveaways, and all. I would assume that the Fox Girls will be there as well, since they attended all Caravan stops last year.

Hey all! I work for a Braves radio affiliate and I saw this post about the caravan. To our understanding, they are not doing the caravan this year. They are replacing it with the FanFest at Turner Field on January 30th. That came straight from a Braves representative's mouth.
