Ranking the Braves prospects

We have a set of rotation pieces that I would like to term The Tremendous Ten.

Allard, Newcomb, Gohara, Weigel, Fried, Anderson, Wentz, Soroka, Toussaint, and Muller.

The best assemblage of arm talent in baseball, and we may add another next week . . .

Some wont pan out and whatnot, but certainly interested to see what they do with some of them. Gonna have to trade some for a bat eventually.

Bryse Wilson was also a million-dollar bonus. Also think Sanchez is considered an elite arm as well.
Tyler Pike, who remains under the radar, was signed by Seattle for $850K, more than double slot, to sign him away from Florida State. Still can't believe he was the PTBNL in the Alex Jackson deal.

It speaks to the depth of our system that talented guys like Sanchez (would be top 5 in LA's system), Wilson, and Pike are left out of The Tremendous Ten.

It would be easier and briefer if you simply listed the minor leaguers who aren't on your list. The challenge is to make an all-emcompassing Top 25 or 30 without 40 "I'm watching." I will be happy to pass the responsibility on to you if you'd do more than list guys. I want to know WHY you have someone placed where they are.

Feel free to reply on the Top 30 Prospects thread, which is stickered and in place for these very discussions.

I enjoyed reading your list, for sure, and I appreciate the feedback. I don't want the responsibility placed on me, though! I think we both (and anyone else) should make lists!

Our lists can coexist!

I really like Wilson. He gets overlooked because of the 3 guys we took ahead of him, but you can't ask for much more from him. He's not going deep into games, and he doesn't have a huge K rate, but it's solid, and he's getting results. I've seen people call him a future bullpen piece, but even if that's where he ends up he has a chance to be phenomenal in that role.

And I would definitely put Sanchez in the top group of pitching prospects for us right now. He's also not going deep into games, but the improvement he's shown after moving up is a very good sign.

As for Pike, he was signed for a good amount, but that was 5 years ago. I definitely would not put him in that group.

Keith Law wrote something in March about how much better Wilson looked when he saw him on the backfields in spring training. He said the delivery looked cleaner and I think mentioned a third pitch that actually gave him a chance to start. I think that's pretty meaningful, considering Law is generally one of the first to throw a reliever tag on somebody.

Yeah, that would be great.
