Braves news: Atlanta Braves team received the greatest news ever today..

The day’s major news continued to center around the draft, including updates on signings and more

thorough analysis from our prospect experts. Regarding prospects, the Braves may have moved their

most intriguing position-player prospect to full-season ball.

Here are my own, mediocrely educated opinions about the draft class. I believe that the key components

of the team’s roster-building plan are the relative stability of position players and the erratic and injury-

proneness of pitchers. The team chooses to focus on pitching volume rather than making long-term

commitments to pitchers by establishing a robust pitching development system and an extremely

appealing work environment. Their position players’ extensions allow them to secure lower AAV

contracts in addition to for such hitters, but also give themselves the luxury of lengthier turnover cycles

for position players, allowing them to invest more draft cash in pitching without sacrificing position

player development. It makes sense to use prospect capital, especially pitching capital, to add more elite

hitters to the mix in order to develop a competitor who is reasonably consistent. As far as I can tell, this

draft did a good job of balancing quality and quantity potential. It was a continuation of this approach.

Out of the twenty players the team selected, six have signed so far, including Carter Holton, the

organization’s second-round choice. Our annual highlight, the Braves Draft Signing Tracker, is now

available.

career in the FCL. Since draft prospects are coming into the system, he wasn’t the only one promoted to

Augusta.
