    Not really. We should expect more. Of course anything can happen in the playoffs so you got a point there.

    How long does the good will of a world series last? Infinity? Or do we try to win another one. I'm not viewing this ownership group as big spenders...but AA looks like a lying piece of...when he answers why the Braves haven't gotten a bonafide starter. The system is top heavy. Do...

    Really good call. I like Sears. He's got a bulldog mentality on the mound. Got a lot of pitches, but he seems to fit the profile of Braves pitchers that will top out at about 93-94, sit at 92....The key is going to be if he can use his secondaries effectively against more patient hitters.

    Ok team. Here is my first "Eyez on the Prize" Top 10 or so prospects in the system. My list may look different...I'm good with that as it's mostly an eye kinda thing instead of the usual jargon about shape, rise, plane...blah, blah. I'm typically lower or higher on the consensus and if you...

    Carp...great job. I love your list....mine is probably going to be a least unpopular list, but like Gaurav says..the scouts know more (until I see em....lol). I was going to do a top 15 Birds eye view first annual...lol. If there is an appetite for that I'm game. In any case, I still think...

    I try not to put much stock into successful or less than stellar debuts. However, there are general concerns when it comes to batting when I see the things I saw out of Alex and Tate. Again, they’ve had an off-season of instruction and hopefully can gain command of the strike zone, but the...

    I'm indifferent about the organizational results of our (the Braves) minor league system. There are guys I like higher and lower than TC or anyone else rates them. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are players they love that are waaaayyy too high for me and guys they are lower on. Most...

    Matt trying to get me started...lol. Read most of these wrote ups and the experts hedge their bets just in case a'can't miss ' prospect flames out. It happens. I think some are jaded by Fuentes' mlb debut. Won't matter in the long run.

    Yeah well as the resident minority I'll just say...nothing. The locker room says a lot.

    While I like that, I've been excited about Alfredo Sena, the consensus #1 International prospect next year. I'm thinking this CBA may interrupt the process and the Braves won't get him. Gonna be some kinda lock out.

    Lmao....this board is wearing me down. But I also have seen some lower level guys that look like great lottery tickets. I'm wanting to have the best mlb team...but not gut the farm. Ha

    Some don't want us to revisit but a few of us hated it and still do. AA is not without misses. It is what it is. Nothing we can do now, but it is fair to recall it for as long as we have Murphy and questionable things going on with him. I like him...but not as much as Bill. Ha.

    Don't care for the Shanks thing but he's saying what reality is for the Braves. They won't pay him. Whether you believe it's injury concerns or whatever, the payday he'll command is out of the Braves universal funding plans. I'll hate it but understand it.

    The nothing burger surrounding trades, signings or otherwise should tell you all you need to know about the philosophy of AA. Still early...so I'll refrain from any snap judgements.

    Yes he has. And he has tools for sure. Who knows if he'll ever put it together, but I've maintained my like for him. I posted about him a few times last year...he's gotta produce now though. I'm hoping we have a logjam sooner rather than later.

    I was about to chime in with the same thing. Honestly, most of the lists and rankings from most experts, fantasy enthusiasts and baseball rats can be subjective. There are just too many variables to consider, but some are obvious and others not so much. To that end, that list is "meh," but...

    Perspective

    Pretty good facts/thought. I don't think most dispute the run of success of the organization, however this organization also leaves a lot of meat on the bone. Some of the approach in my humble opinion is that there are areas where a refresh is needed. That buttoned-down nice guys thing is for...
