re: ATL Thread 8/2 | Phillies (frick) vs Braves (Strider)

I was being sarcastic, you can’t ever criticize the team or the 50 IQ crowd starts losing their minds about it

The Athletic updated their top prospect list today. Grissom cracks the top 60.

quote:

---

59. Vaughn Grissom, SS, Atlanta Previous ranking: Unranked Atlanta’s 11th-round pick in 2019 — the year the organization went hog-wild after the 10th round and signed a bunch of promising high school players to above-slot bonuses in the $200,000 to $600,000 range — Grissom hit .312/.404/.487 in High A this year before a July promotion to Double A, where he’s continued to rake. He’s a plus runner and a great hitter for contact, but may not have a ton of pop and probably moves off shortstop. He doesn’t have a huge ceiling but has established himself as a likely regular who could be a borderline star. (He’s unrelated to Marquis, by the way.)

Is the Athletic a good source for prospect stuff? I don’t know how much they’ve invested in it and I canceled my sub a good while back

Depends on what you think of Keith Law.

I can't stand some of their content, and they're obnoxiously woke sometimes, but no one covers the Braves prospects better than the guys at Talking Chop.

I'm surprised they're letting Strider go here. I know they've said that there are no innings limits, but you'd think it would be smart to limit his pitch counts when you can during games like this.

frick, the stuff is still amazing though.

What an outing from Strider.

I’ve won 7 straight WS on the show.

America wins

Holy shite Marcell that ball had a family

AA says we don’t need no outfielders we got (BJ voice) Ahsoona
