I haven't seen this FanPost so I thought I would start the debate. Where would you rank Matt Lipka among the Braves' Prospects? Also, where do you believe the Braves will start him (position and team)?

Here is the Talking Chop top 30 Prospects for a reference.

1      Jason Heyward, OF
2      Freddie Freeman, 1B
3      Julio Teheran, RHSP
4      Arodys Vizcaino, RHSP
5      Edward Salcedo, SS
6      Mike Minor, LHSP
7      Craig Kimbrel, RHRP
8      Christian Bethancourt, C
9      Randall Delgado, RHSP
10    Zeke Spruill, RHSP
11    Cody Johnson, OF
12    J.J. Hoover, RHSP
13    Adam Milligan, OF
14    Brett DeVall, LHSP
15    Dimasther Delgado, LHSP
16    Jose Ortegano, LHSP
17    Cory Gearrin, RHRP
18    Cole Rohrbough, LHSP
19    Brandon Hicks, SS
20    Jacob Thompson, RHSP
21    Brett Oberholtzer, LHSP
22    David Hale, RHRP
23    Robinson Lopez, RHSP
24    Scott Diamond, LHSP
25    Tyler Stovall, LHSP
26    Andy Otero, LHSP
27    Benino Pruneda, RHRP
28    R. Spanjer-Furstenburg, 1B
29    Mycal Jones, SS
30    Caleb Brewer, RHSP

My Take: I would put him 6th behind Edward Salcedo and before Mike Minor.I believe the Braves will start him in Rome at 2nd base. The reason I think they make the move to 2nd already is so that he can become accustomed to turning double plays with Salcedo. That would be awesome to watch.
