See you in 6 years or so Sung Min Kim. Good loooong-range planning by the Braves.

I feel confident getting back to winning games and competing will be sooner than later. It has been brutal waiting to be a successful club again after so many successful years.

Braves catching prospect Jackson shines in fall league

Jackson continues to make a late-November trade with the Mariners look like a potentially one-sided one for the Braves, who gave up two modest pitching prospects and came away with a power-hitting prospect who’s reminding people why he was the sixth overall pick of the 2014 draft.

Jackson went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a homer and two RBIs for the Peoria Javelinas in a 6-4 win Wednesday against Surprise in the prospect-laden Arizona Fall League. It was the second homer in 21 at-bats for Jackson, who’s hit .381 with only three strikeouts and has a .762 slugging percentage and 1.197 OPS in five games.

Can Alex Johnson really stay at catcher? I don't see too many corner OFers switched to catcher, so I'm doubtful.

Touki and Max are flashing big-time potential, but we need to see consistency and command. They can both hit 97 MPH - are their futures in the bullpen?

Riley... I think he's the Braves 3rd basemen in 2019.

Still top ranked. For all the ill will Coppy has garnered, he did a pretty fantastic job acquiring assets/talent.

This one is gonna hurt. Franchise altering talent we have on hand...and the league has to strongly be considering ripping him away from us.

We dont' know at this point, MLB has not finished their investigation. I'm still holding out hope that we can keep him.

Acuna is going to be our franchise's savior. The kid has it all.

Nice to know we have young talent at positions other than just Pitcher.

So rare to see that kind of power upper-cut swing in such a young player. As long as he can keep the SO's reasonable and stay healthy, he simply cannot miss.
