With Riley showing positives at the major league level I have no doubts about Pache and Waters. The Braves are simply hitting on all of their top position prospects right now. That is how you build a dynasty. Early 90's all over again.

There really is little doubt about Pache and Waters at their respective age\level. Waters just keeps on hitting and the power from both has been really positive.

I haven't been a believer at all in Pache's bat to this point, but what he's doing in a park that strongly favors pitchers has changed my mind.

Here's their updated Braves list: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects...1&pageitems=10000000000000&pagenum=0&team=atl

On the overall top 100 (https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects...?sort=-1,1&pageitems=10000000000000&pagenum=0), we have a lot of big movers. New top 100 rankings, FV in parenthesis:

Pache 15 (60)
Riley 25 (55)
Anderson 35 (55)
Waters 37 (55)
Wright 44 (55)
Contreras 47 (50)
Gohara 63 (50)
Wilson 72 (50)

Muller went from a 45 to a 45+.

Most of the rankings movement was from other prospects graduating, so I wouldn't call that "a lot of big movers".

Pache 15 (60) from 19 (55)
Riley 25 (55) from 33 (55)
Anderson 35 (55) from 38 (55)
Waters 37 (55) from 49 (50)
Wright 44 (55) from 39 (55)
Contreras 47 (50) from 55 (50)
Gohara 63 (50) from 61 (50)
Wilson 72 (50) from 72 (50)

The only real positive movers of note are Pache and Waters gaining a half grade of FV due to advancing levels and being closer to the MLB level.

Doubts about Wright appear to be slowly creeping in, which sucks.

THE COPPER COPPOLLELA'S ARE ARRIVING.
 
But Coppollela’s prospects likely wont be as good as Wren’s. Therefore, their level is copper.

Wren "has" two prospects basically. all prospects combined...Coppy's will do better.
it does say a lot that Wren's only two guys were lottery ticket international signings that happened to work out with little-to-no input from Wren himself. classic.

There are four Golden Wrens on the current roster.

Are we going to have another 20 page argument about whether or not GMs get credit for the production of their scouting teams?
