Braves acquire Alex Jackson and a PTBNL from Seattle for Rob Whalen and Max Povse.

I had Povse as the #22 prospect in the Braves organization and #12 pitching prospect.

Jackson likely slots in at #19 or #20.

Thats a whole bunch of meh in that trade. Doubtful anyone would care except for the fact that Jackson was the #6 player taken in the 2014 draft. I didnt like him then, and I dont like him now. He'll already be 21 by the time the season starts.

Its a good thing we basically gave up nothing to get him.

I like the move. Whalen and Povse aren't anywhere near our top arms. Jackson is still young with a very high ceiling. I like taking chances on guys with tons of potential and pop.
