5-6 Top 100 guys on the next round of lists? Let me see
Peraza (holdover from the ancien regime)
Albies (holdover from the ancien regime)
Those are the only two who I think are shoe-ins. Both made BA's mid-season Top 50.
Who else has a shot?
Toussaint: he was on BA's list at the start of this season. My guess he will not be on their next list. We'll see. Didn't make BA's mid-season Top 50.
Davidson: holdover from the ancien regime. I don't think he will be on BA's next list.
Some of the draftees will get consideration: Allard, Soroka, Riley. My guess is none make it. Riley could be interpreted as a trade acquisition since I believe we acquired that pick.
Smith is the best of the remaining trade acquisitions still eligible for the top prospect lists. Don't think he will make it, but he has an outside shot.
Some of our international guys in the GCL are very promising but prospects that far away usually don't make the Top 100 lists. At any rate the best of that group (Yepez, Acuna, Salazar, Mejia) were signed by the ancien regime.
Am I overlooking anyone?
I think I get what you are saying and if so I agree to an extent. I think the rebuild hasn't gone nearly far enough at this point. The "deep" farm system is a matter of relativity. Compared to this time last year, it is now deep. Compared to the farm in 1991, the last time the Braves made a conscious effort to rebuild, it is not.
In 1990-1991 when the Braves were gearing up for their historic run, they had a huge number of prospects of both quantity and quality and they weren't shy about trading away ML assets like Zane Smith either. Some of the prospects the Braves had coming through the minors was: Glavine, Smoltz (Doyle Alexander trade), Avery, Pete Smith, Mercker, Tommy Greene, Wohlers, Lilliquist, Clary, Marak, Stanton, Blauser, Klesko, Lemke, Lopez, Hunter, Mitchell, Chipper, etc. etc.
But, they didn't acquire all those guys in one year. It was a process over several years often with the advantage of picking early and often because the ML team was so bad. Some made it. Some didn't. Some were traded and shouldn't have been. Some were NOT traded and should have been (Dale Murphy was eventually traded but essentially given away because his value had diminished while he was the one and only face of the franchise putting those 5,000 butts in the stands every night). At one point Murphy could have, and would have, brought Barry Bonds to Atlanta.
My point is, the late 80's/early 90's plan followed the script no matter how painful it was to do so. Could it have been better? Absolutely. The sentimentality and wrong headed thinking with Murphy not only cost his value but also cost the Braves Tommy Greene who would go on to be a reasonably successful starter for Philly for essentially the return of a hand full of magic beans. But, for the most part it worked.
Do the current PTB have the will and foresight to see it through?
