I think Lien is the better prospect. He's a 5 tool guy that has started to put those tools together in the past two years.

There is a whole lot of stupid in this thread.

As a Mississippi State fan, I watched a lot of teams roll through Starkville. By far the best team I saw play against Mississippi State was Texas A&M. That team was legitimate. They could hit the ball. If I'm not mistaken, they had the best offensive team in the SEC. JB Moss was a part of...

Craig Kimbrel.

Now go get McCann!

There is 2 years age difference in McCann and Lucroy. McCann is expensive for 2 years but wouldn't cost nearly as much in prospects as what Lucroy will, and will not cost nearly as much long term as Lucroy. Atlanta should make a deal for McCann. It would give them a solid duo over the next...

I hope they don't go to an international draft anytime soon. I'm not sure what the Braves do in Curacao, but they can sure find talent down there. Ozzie Albies, Kevin Josephina, and Reysheandall Michael are all hitting well.

We do. I'd put Kolby Allard, Ian Anderson, Joey Wentz, and Kyle Muller up against anyone else's top pitching talent.

That's a complete misstatement. We have several guys who have a ceiling that could be in that Sale, Bumgarner, Fernandez, Hamels type of pitcher. In fact, Hamels is the guy that Joey Wentz gets comped to the most.

Bregman is rated #1 with Swanson #5 on MLB Pipeline's list, and both have been given 65 overall grades. So, I would say we have at least one prospect that is close to Bregman.

Since June 1st, Braxton has hit 8 home runs. Austin Riley has also homered tonight for his 10th HR. He has hit 7 since June 1st. Travis Demeritte has hit 12 HR since June 1st.

Braxton Davidson with his 10th home run.

You keep him up and let him pitch through it. He's going through what almost all young pitchers go through. It's the ups and downs of young pitcher development. If he was in his first 50 innings, then you think about sending him back down to work on things. He's pushing 230 innings pitched...

I saw a rumor that said the Braves and Royals were discussing a deal that would send Nick Markakis to KC for Joakim Soria and Hunter Dozier.

I'm the doctor at the clinic, so I hope so.

I get some thinking his HR total is inflated due to the league he is in. He has hit 25 home runs in a hitter friendly league. The 2nd highest total this year is 16 home runs. The fact that he has 9 more than the 2nd highest total suggests that his power potential is legit despite the league...

I saw this update on my phone on the way home from the clinic. I was thinking "how in the world did we get Demerritte for Harrell/Alvarez? Talking about taking two scrap heap guys and getting a legit prospect who was in the futures game for them!!

Looking at some other numbers on players, I really like the in game power surge that Braxton Davidson has shown since June 1st. Since that date, Braxton has hit .241/.380/.463 with 7 HR, 11 2B, and 2 3B. He has a .222 ISO and a 137 wRC+. He still has a lot to work on. It's mainly his contact...

I saw where Cumberland's SLG in the last 9 games is .689 -- 9 of his 12 hits in the last 9 games are for extra bases.

Hunter Belinsky from BA mentioned last night that Cumberland was not calling pitches. I'm not sure if this is common among Braves catchers in the low minors or not.
