10% of list is Braves and no Maitan or Wright who are both better prospects than Anderson.

Albies at 40 is pretty bizarre. Youngest player in AAA at the start of the year OPSing .800 and leading the league in steals with ++ defense.

I would rank the Braves

1. Acuna (top 5 overall)
2. Maitan (tough to rank but probably highest ceiling in all of the minors)
3. Albies (top 20-25)
4. Soroka (25-30)
5. Allard (25-30)
6. Wright (35-45)
7. Anderson (60-70)

Top 6 are all clear cut top 50 guys. BP had Anderson 48 but that is a little aggressive imo.

11. Ronald Acuna, OF

32. Mike Soroka, RHP
40. Ozzie Albies, IF
48. Ian Anderson, RHP

Edit: Dammit, volfan.

They also had 10% of the top 100 minorleagueball put out a couple weeks ago.

The 7 above + Newcomb, Gohara and Fried. Pache was 101 I believe.

I assume Newcomb would have been borderline top 50 on this list if he hadn't been called up.

I'm a big fan of the "why he will make it / why he won't make it" format.

Dodgers would have had 4 on the list, but Cody Bellinger came up earlier than expected.
