You're not seriously comparing the Cubs recent farm of future all stars all over the field with the Braves' 50 pitchers.

You know what we can do with those prospects? Flip some of them for a 3B and C who are under team control. This is not the end of the offseason. It's the very beginning.

I agree that the Braves should have hoarded position players rather than pitchers, but their collection of pitchers is very impressive from a value standpoint.

You should definitely be able to get 5 cost controlled ML starters and a few quality position players via trade from Miller, Teheran, Wisler, Folty, Newcomb, Jenkins, Allard, Toussaint, Fried, Sims, Soroka. That is an absurd list of arms from a value perspective.

I'm comparing the strategies of rebuilding a farm system to be successful in the future. Whether it's keeping them in the organization or using them as trade assets for acquiring big-time free agents.
