NEW YORK, NY – MARCH 14: A man pauses at Pier 15 on the East River at South Street Seaport, March 14, 2019 in New York City. Mayor Bill de Blasio has unveiled a $10 billion plan to extend the Lower Manhattan coastline by up to two city blocks to guard against rising sea levels and other effects of climate change. The city will seek federal and state funding as well as potential private investments to finance the ambitious project.

Drew Waters

I’ll be honest, the top four are the only ones I really consider to be untouchable, but I said I would give you five names, so Drew Waters makes the list.

The main reason he makes this list is because an outfield of Acuna, Pache, and Waters for the next eight seasons or so sounds really exciting.

Waters was a 41st overall pick by the Atlanta Braves in the 2017 MLB Draft, and he’s already advanced up to Double-A with Pache.

Last year he hit .293 between Single-A and High-A with 9 home runs, 23 stolen bases, and a .819 OPS in 460 at-bats.

Even though he’s one of the youngest players in Double-A, that hasn’t slowed him down as he’s hitting .325 to start the 2019 season.

If Waters and Pache grow into some power, the Atlanta Braves could have an outfield that features three 20-20 guys.

That is just a beautiful thing to imagine.

But because the Atlanta Braves are so rich with outfield talent for years to come, it kind of makes Waters expendable.

I view Pache as the better prospect, which is why I think they would consider trading Waters and not Pache.

But still, I think both are untouchable right now.

I’m sure these are the names other teams are asking for because they see the same things we do, but they can forget it. These five players should be untouchable.
