College bball is so bad

lol…They had an 8 run lead after 2 innings and lost by 14.

He's got the batting stance down, but he doesn't have his daddy's quick wrists.

Fangraphs updated Top 100 prospects is out. Baldwin is #11. AJSS at #40. No other Braves in the top 100.

Oh. Tried to tell ya

You also said AJSS was nowhere near a top 50 prospect.

We'll see what sort of grade Nacho gets when they finish their Braves farm assessment. Decent chance he is still a 50 FV grade. Waldrep's value has tanked though.

It's incredible how much AA hates depth. Why not have him as the extra IF? For $1M and decent Arcia insurance???

 

[zjcvols]

The Braves backup IF options right now are a guy with a 53 wRC+ in 760 MLB PA's and a 24 year old Rule 5 pick that put up a 93 wRC+ in AA and AAA last year. But we gotta save that $1M!

Paul Dejong is pretty limited defensively and isn't even a good hitter. I am 100% fine not offering him a guaranteed contract.

However, Jose Iglesias would be a pretty perfect fit for this team and he is still available. Honestly, he would probably be an upgrade over Arcia. Brendan Rodgers would be a great signing as well.

Hell, I don't know why we don't just bring back Whitt Merrifield. Even if it's a just an invite to ST. He's world better than our other bench options.

I’ve gotten the urge to really podcast lately and my schedule actually allows for it
