Atlanta Braves Minor League All Questions Answered

The first month has seen promotions of guys like Aaron Blair, John Gant, and Mallex Smith, incredible performances from guys like Max Povse, Rio Ruiz, and Brandon Barker who weren’t exactly considered “top” prospects before the season, and expected great performances from guys like Lucas Sims, Ozhaino Albies, and Dansby Swanson. Now we have lots of questions to ask, right? Then, feel free to ask away in our monthly all questions asked post!

The “Rules”

Rules?! We don’t need no stinking rules!

Well, okay, a couple of suggested guidelines. This will primarily be answered by Benjamin Chase, the minor league coordinator around these parts, however any member of the Tomahawk Take team or any one of you can feel free to add your answer/comment to a question asked. Any question posted to this thread before Sunday at midnight eastern will be answered, so feel free to ask away, even if you don’t catch this on the exact day that it posted to the site! If the number gets to be too heavy, in the future I may set an earlier cut off time, but for right now, we’ll stick to keeping this open to new questions throughout the weekend.
