Fangraphs new prospect rankings
Out today are Fangraphs latest top 100 prospect rankings. They actually list 131 names and the Braves have 14 in first top 105.
BA’s list out last Saturday isn’t as enamored with the Braves system, placing only seven in their 100 player list. I included it and the MLB Pipeline list –not updated since the draft – for reference.

FV- Future Value
That’s A Wrap
The Braves have a chance to break out from the pack in the next dozen games. Beginning with the Mets tomorrow, they play 14 games against sub 500 teams. The Braves have to grab all they can get in that 15 day stretch because it gets tough quickly afterwards.
Beginning the 29th they play three in St Louis, fly to New York to face the Yankees for three then jet back to Milwaukee for four against the NL Central leading Brewers. They can’t lose the division in that stretch, but playing badly could make it a lot harder to win.
