Would have been interesting to think what other prospect we would have given up. Mitchell was #89 according to Baseball America that year.

#4 Chipper Jones
#8 Ryan Klesko
#13 Mark Wohlers
#19 Mike Kelly
#56 David Neid
#78 Javy Lopez

Other Braves in the top 100.

Not sure but I don't think it was any of the top 3

This is from '88...Bobby blew this one if true.Andres Thomas was prized for his potential but never panned out.

quote:

The Pirates coveted Andres Thomas. The Bucs were in dire need of a shortstop, and Bobby Cox saw his in to go after his man. Initial talks surrounded a Bonds for Thomas, one-for-one deal. Pittsburgh GM Larry Doughty had other thoughts. If he was moving Bonds, he would need Thomas and one of the Braves elite, young starting pitchers. Cox refused. Having already shot down previous deals involving his young arms, he stood his ground.





I believe Derek Lilliquist was the pitching prospect.
