After Keith Law got me to flail my arms around yesterday in curfuddled disagreement, Marc Hulet of FanGraphs puts the Braves prospects universe back into order with a sane (and boring, I guess, but that's good) list.
- Julio Teheran, RHP
- Arodys Vizcaino, RHP
- Randall Delgado, RHP
- Tyler Pastornicky, SS
- Sean Gilmartin, LHP
- Andrelton Simmons, SS
- Christian Bethancourt, C
- Edward Salcedo, SS
- Zeke Spruill, RHP
- Brandon Drury, 3B
- J.R. Graham, RHP
- Matt Lipka, OF
- J.J. Hoover, RHP
- Carlos Perez, LHP
- Joe Terdoslavich, 1B
Sleeper: Navery Moore, RHP
Good writeups on the site, and a good list. I guess for the record I should tell you what my top-25 Braves prospects look like. I put my list together in late October last year, so no AFL performances were considered (and I'm not sure I would have put too much weight on them anyway). My top-25 after the jump (so you can bash me if you'd like). Note that the official Talking Chop top-25 is an average of my rankings, CB's, and Matt's.
Gondeee's 2012 top-25:

I'm not sure I'd change too much. I might move Graham, Jones, and Moore up some.
