Since this wasn't started yet and there is news today.
Braves hired Kiley McDaniel as Assistant Director, Baseball Operation. Got him from Fan Graphs. Really like what is going on in the front office.

Ok I need to be hand fed what this hire means. Why is he a good hire?

Do they have a new manager yet?

They won't until Bobby Cox isn't a influence for Atlanta anymore.
Kiley McDaniel is a great hire. He's a really good scout of talent.

He does tremendous work for fangraphs, we have a great scouting staff and going after the best in the analytics side as well.

Oh wow, that's a great get.

Please God make the Braves take Blake Rutherford in the draft. That's all I want. That and Kevin Maitan.

It really is, and a totally unBraves like move. Nice to see. Maybe Coppy has more input than we think right now. Nice to see us blending scouting and analytics in the front office.

Yeah, if we grab those two and that top latin catcher in the same signing class as Maitan I'll be beyond stoked.

From his Farewell article on Fangraphs
quote:
I’ll be brief explaining my role, as I’ll be there to learn and contribute behind men with more experience than me. In short, I’ll be doing many of the same things I did for FanGraphs: contributing to the draft and international signings, scouting the minor leagues and doing what I can to improve the big league product, all of these from both a scouting and analytics perspective. I am grateful for everything the FanGraphs family has done for me and to you guys for reading and participating in the process. I look forward to this new challenge and will do everything I can to ensure that it includes multiple World Series titles.

Looks like he has 2 more pieces left for Fangraphs. One dropping today, and one tomorrow. Going to miss his podcast, it was Grade A stuff.

I don't see an updated spreadsheet in the OP.
Posted on 10/13/15 at 11:32 am to SwampDonks
Then make one.
Posted on 10/13/15 at 11:42 am to lsu31always
Another one for the good guys
