If the Braves wait until it's clear that that ceiling will be reached, then they won't be able to afford him. I don't disagree with your basic point, but A) this is an environment in which salaries are going to inflate tremendously over the next few years, and B) the Braves' awful TV deal will make them unable to keep up. If I were Frank Wren I'd be eager to roll the dice on both of those guys right now while I still can.
In terms of reason B, that would be one of the exact reasons why, I as a GM, would be hesitant to pull the trigger.
