Braves Prospect Chat Wrap

PrintBen Badler at Baseball America did a prospect chat earlier today, and several Braves prospects were discussed. Here is what he had to say:
Dave (Atlanta): How would you rank the Braves top international pitchers: Delgado, Teheran, Lopez, and Vizcaino?
Ben Badler: Vizcaino, Teheran, Delgado, Lopez. I believe I'm in the BA minority though in edging Vizcaino over Teheran.
Badler has always had a great love of Vizcaino, but at this point it certainly looks like Teheran is the better prospect, with possibly Delgado coming in second with the season he's having in a more advanced league.
Daniel (Indian Trail, NC): Other than Freddie Freeman, is there anyone within the upper levels of the Braves system that can legitimately step in and fill a position next season for a much needed bat in our desperate lineup (excluding the fact that we hit well during the 3 game sweep of the Brewers). Also, is Schafer ever going to materialize into an option beside Heyward for us?
Ben Badler: Other than Freeman, no, it looks like they would have to go outside of the organization to find another bat. To be honest, I don't know what to make of Schafer. He's had such a strange developmental path between his suspension and what he had to deal with mentally after the suspension that, really, I just don't know. Some scouts saw him as an everyday regular in center field, but there seem to be just as many who see him as a part-time guy who has to sit against lefthanded pitching.
Our elite hitting prospect depth is not that great, but the development of hitters has generally taken a back seat to the development of pitchers in the Braves system. Still, the Braves have produced a lot of major league hitters in the past decade. Maybe as many if not more than the pitchers they've produced. This is a conversation for another post, though.
Bubba Brown (Roy, UT): Has Julio Teheran put himself in position to be discussed with the elite of the elite prospect arms?
Ben Badler: He's already there. He might have the best fastball/changeup combo in the minors
Fastball/chageup -- a lot of people have made a career out just throwing those two pitches effectively.

Vizcaino > JT?
Hmmm…I’d definately disagree there.

Well he said that Teheran is already among the elite of the elite prospects arms, so that means he has Vizcaino there too, which makes me a happy camper…

and it’s not like I don’t want Vizzy to turn out to a stud. I’d just prefer JT cause of that Fastball/Changeup combo.

What's ill about it is..
1. This dude may be the only person on the planet that would rank Vizcaino over Teheran right now.
2. Delgado’s command has improved big time, as have his secondary pitches. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s ranked ahead of Vizcaino.
Also, Schafer did take a very odd route to the majors, hopefully he gets a chance to slow down and develop.

are definitely capable of being big time players.

It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

Adam Foster of Project Prospect ranks Delgado ahead of them all.
I’ll take Teheran’s upside over Delgado, but it’s so hard to rank those 4.
I don’t think it’s clear Lopez is the 4th best, either. And where does Mike Minor fit in? I’ve been real impressed with him thus far.

ya
but both shelby miller and tyler matzek signed for less money. Is it possible that Wren didn’t want too many young guys coming in at once? you’d have four 19 year olds all with tons of potential. I just think we should have drafted Matzek, especially with the way Minor’s pitched this year
but both shelby miller and tyler matzek signed for less money
That is not correct. Minor signed for $2.42 million. Matzek signed for $3.9 million and Miller signed for $2.8 million.
Of course, if they hadn’t signed Garret Anderson and Greg Norton they could have had Jacob Turner or Tyler Matzek or Matt Purke or Shelby Miller, all of whom I would’ve preferred to Minor.

shouldnt
delgados performance in a higher league place him higher than JT even though JT’s ceiling is higher?
It depends on the person doing the rankings. Some rank based on performace, others on projections/ceiling, and others a combination of both. Some even rank hitters over pitchers for the simple fact that they can affect more games. There is no wrong way to not only eat a Reeses, but also to rank prospects.

Not really...
because Teheran just joined him there at a full year younger. He may or may not have similar success, but Teheran is progressing faster through the system. Remember, at 19 (same age as JT now) Delgado struggled in his first half season in Rome.

SB Nation? Oh, the Colts blog (GO COLTS!!!!) had something like 8,000 comments during the Super Bowl if you count the pre-game and post game threads as well.
For baseball, I’m not sure, but I’d imagine TC’s 3,100 record from earlier this week is up there.
And like I said in that thread, can you imagine what it would be like in a playoff game?

How did Lost last 6 years?
The plot is apparently still as confusing as it was during the first season.
lost
was a hit because it appealed to a lot of people. it appealed to scifi geeks and those who watched for the mystery of it. it appealed to people who liked action and adventure. it appealed to ladies and those who watched for character development.
i watched a few FF episodes before the break and to me, a lost fan, it was nothing like lost and not as good as lost. then again, i’ve heard from lots of people that FF got a lot better after the hiatus.
that's what I don't get...
FF started off great, but slumped a bit. I was gonna stop watching, but they ended the 1st half of the season really well and I continued to watch after the break.
It didn’t miss a beat after returning and I thought it would be a lock to be re-newed. I didn’t think it would be the next Lost, but it was certainly good.
The characters are great (especially Gabriel, the crazy guy. to be honest, he’s one of the best TV characters I’ve ever seen. I watch FF just to see him.) the acting is great and the story is very interesting. And none of the characters are similar either.
But it’s been rumored for weeks that it would be cancelled and that’s why they moved so quickly. Instead of letting Dyson Frost, who was a great character as well, come into his own, they killed him because they’re supposedly ending the show in 2 weeks.

ABC is a joke. CBS and NBC are the only channels worth watching anymore.

After Lost is done, Modern Family is the only show I will still watch on ABC. I did DVR the first 3 episodes of Happy Town just to see what thats about, but I havent had any sense of urgency to start it.

I missed that one. Must have been interesting. Don’t tell me who wins. Might catch a replay of it later.

Cougars was/is horrible, but The Middle is not that bad.
Modern Family is fantastic.

modern family and community are two of the funniest shows on right now.
the paintball episode of community is one of the best half-hours of TV (ok maybe i’m exaggerating a bit, but it’s awesome).
That one was epic. I kept thinking that it was supposed to be like Call of Duty Modern Warfare – especially the first 5 minutes or so – remember the level in the destroyed town where Chernoble happened?

The Braves have two of the top 5 in Longest active losing streaks for starting pitchers….8 in a row for KK and 9 in a row for the incomparable Jo Jo Reyes….yikes

Gondeee is MIA so far. Probably just a busy man. It should be up soon.

lets just put it this way.. i’m not used to women assuming they’re going home with you when you meet them at a bar.

hmmm
been to canada by land twice, to quebec city by car and toronto by train, and the customs agents i had were really nice. by far nicer than the american ones coming back into the states.
they guys i dealt with gave me a terrible time because i was a student that was going to be interning at a neuro surgery clinic— they said foreigners weren’t allowed to spend more than 3 hours with a doctor or a patient per day. Which is ridiculous/arbitrary— I ended up having to clear a medical exam to show them I was disease free before they let me have my passport back

Quebec City and Toronto are phenomenal cities.
People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

Trial and error…depends on what station is playing the game.
