We are seeing first hand why it's unwise to build around pitching prospects.

Please stop, we traded for and signed a bunch of assets both pitchers and hitters, many from each column won't make it.

Everybody here understands pitchers will have arm injuries.

When did we get Carlos Baerga Jr? Says this is his first year but he went to college but didn't draft him this year. Did we draft him last year and just not play last year or something?

I think the rule is once a guy is 21 he can simply sign if he's not drafted. Baerga finished his junior year at NW Ohio University. Someone can help me out with the situation where a guy was drafted out of high school and didn't sign and what his options might be after sitting out a year and not attending a junior college. I think they had to clarify a few things when Matt Harrington didn't sign out of high school after being a first round pick in 2000.

We have a top 3 system if not the top.

Pipeline has our top. 2 prospects as hitters in Albies and maitan. Acuna is top 7 and will be higher.

Demerite Riley pache give us more bats to dream on with their flaws in the 10-15.

Waters was a second round guy. Most ppl pre hamate think d Peterson is 1-2 war guy. Several catcher options who are likely ot good but one might hit

We have bats too

Now list out when those top bats were acquired. Before or after Wren?

The 5 best young position players the Braves have were either acquired by Wren, or given to them by Stewart. All other efforts since went into pitching. They have stated it was their focus.

Maitan?

And Waters may be in our top 5 position prospects.
 
Maybe Abraham Gutierrez and Lucas Herbert. I'm very please with the year Herbert is having. Oh and Pache was a solid sighning
 
Acquired since Wren left:

Dansby Swanson
Ender Inciarte
Kevin Maitan
Drew Waters
Cristian Pache
Alex Jackson
Travis Demeritte
Rio Ruiz
Austin Riley
Dustin Peterson
Lucas Herbert
Yunior Severino

That list is just fine with me.
 
I'm 100% on the no acuna to 2019 train.

That said as early as next year we could have an under 30, controlled and multi war player at:
1b ff
2b albies
Ss dansby
Lf d Peterson
C inciarte
Rf acuna

Obviously kemp and Adams and neck block. But it's possible.

That would mean we were a catcher and a 3b away. On position guys at least.
