Atlanta Braves Saturday update: Max Fried starts bye-bye Bourjos
By Fred Owens
Compare and contrast
I published a list of Braves players on the Fangraphs list when it appeared contrasting them to the other lists at that time. That list actually contained 131 names including 14 Braves. Pipeline lists eight braves in their top 100; Acuna at 1, Soroka at 15, Wright at 26, Gohara at 43, Ian Anderson at 45. Allard at 50, Riley at 51 and Fried at 74.
This also shuffled Pipeline’s organizational ranks for the Atlanta Braves’ system. The easiest way to show this is a table. I used the Pipeline list as the base because it goes 1 through 30 and listed the top 100 lists and organization ranks beside it.

Prospects leave the pipeline list when they lose Rookie status. Rookie status ends with the 131st at bat or >50 IP or 45 days on the 25-man roster excluding disabled list and September call-up time.
Fried has 37 IP and 50 days service time but Pipeline still lists him.
Acuna reaches the at-bat mark with 10 more AB.
Soroka sits at 25 2/3 IP and Gohara’s accumulated 27 days service time with 45 IP.
