Braves Instructional League Roster

I will admit it.  I have never looked for, nor looked at an Instructional League roster before.  Over the last year or two, nothing really caught my interest in checking for such a list, and in the years before that, it was really hard to get that information.

So as I confess that, a glance at the list of players that the Braves have assembled for some extra seasoning is … okay, jaw-dropping.  It’s a crazy-deep list of the prospects from AA and down… including many of the 16-year-olds just signed from the International market… yes, including Kevin Maitan.

The Braves’ contingent might normally be getting a bit more press, but it’s probably okay that Tim Tebow is sucking all of the media’s attention over toward Port St. Lucie, so everybody else can actually get some work done.

The league does play some games, and those run from next week through mid-October.

Here’s the basic list – there’s more data on each player over at the baseballamerica.com link above:
