Can we all stop for a second and realize just how good he is? Cody Bellinger is having an all-timer type season, just absolutely raking at almost unfathomable levels...and Trout has posted an fWAR 0.5 higher despite a BABIP 60 points below his career average. And he used to have a below-average...

Bryce Harper is leading the NL in OPS at 1.072....with a BABIP of .211. That is all.

I just wanted to take a look at where our guys are so far in relation to where they have been. I've listed them according to my own personal ranking of them, but it doesn't really matter. Based on this, a lot of our guys have improved their K/BB ratio. Most notably, Soroka is obviously looking...

After reading through the blurb about Acuna that rico posted on the other thread (thanks, rico!), I wanted to check something. We know the Braves believe in youth, even relatively when comparing guys at the same level. For example, we know part of the reason they loved guys like Allard, Soroka...

1 WAR, yes? After 4 games, he's sitting at 0.5 bWAR and 0.5 fWAR.

That is all.

4 - Swanson 11 - Albies 32 - Maitan 53 - Allard 78 - Soroka 80 - Newcomb 86 - Anderson I think these outlets have gone too far in being aggressive on guys who haven't really done anything yet.

I disagree with some of MLB.com's new ranking of our top 30 today, and I get that some people seem to think we spend too much time talking about and drooling over our prospects, but the depth of legitimate talent we've assembled is beginning to border on unprecedented...

So Mississippi has unveiled their Opening Day roster. The big surprise? Albies is there, with Swanson in Carolina. Also that Allard is not in Rome to start, may just stick in extended ST for a while. And Ruiz shockingly is starting in Gwinnett. They must have liked what they saw from him in ST...

I'm not sure if this is from an actual Fangraphs writer or not, but the math is sound and it helps illustrate just how badly we fleeced the D-Backs in that trade. http://www.fangraphs.com/community/the-braves-mightve-fleeced-the-d-backs-out-of-225-million/ Pretty shocking, honestly.

I haven't seen this posted elsewhere yet. First, let me preface this by saying this is from Dan Farnsworth, who is the same guy who decided John Gant is our 2nd best prospect and Ryan Weber is our #5. So....there's that. But he is actually considered to be a phenomenal evaluator of hitters, and...
