Here are some notable prospects as they relate to the Braves.  Their Baseball America overall prospect rank for 2006 is listed first, then the year that BA thinks they will arrive in the majors.

#14, ETA: 2006 - Andy Marte, 3b / Yep, we traded away the number fourteen prospect in all of baseball for a shortstop coming off a career worst year. The Braves farm people have always spoken highly of Marte, but they didn't seem to shed a tear when they let him go.  And then Boston flipped Marte (who has been listed in the top 100 for four years) to Cleveland for a mid-level outfielder who has never been listed in the top 100. Humm. . .

#18, ETA: 2007 - Jarrod Saltalamacchia, c / He's our best prospect and someone who will probably be pushing at the Major League door by the end of the year. The Braves system, which hasn't produced a quality big league catcher since Javy Lopez, is now stocked with bookoos of catching talent. McCann is in the Majors, and Bryan Pena is good enough to be playing there as well. Salty is at the top of a list in the minors that includes Max Ramirez, Clint Sammons, and Jean Boscan.

#19, ETA: 2007 - Andy LaRoche, 3b / He's one of the Dodgers young studs, and the younger brother of Braves' first baseman Adam LaRoche. He has a bit more power and major league projectibility than Adam.

#61, ETA: 2009 - Elvis Andrus, ss / He's the first prospect on their list that projects out to '09, if fact he's the only prospect that is slated for '09 or beyond. As the years march on he will likely climb up this list as he climbs up the minor league ladder. As fate would have it, the guaranteed portion of current Braves' shortstop Edgar Renteria's contract is up at the end of 2008.  Just in time for an Elvis sighting in Atlanta.

#93, ETA 2006 - Anthony Lerew, rhp / Already an early contender for the closer's role in Atlanta this year, and Lerew is not backing down from the competition: "I want to fight for it," Lerew said. "It's something I think I could be good at." He will take his upper 90's velocity as far as he can ride it this year. He was very impressive in his late season call-up last year, and was dominant in the first inning he pitched in each outing. But in both outings where he pitched a second inning he surrendered runs.

#98, ETA 2006 - Chuck James, lhp / He bolted through the Braves minor league system last year, making a stop at every level from A to the Majors. Baseball America's quote for James comes from their number 1 prospect, Delmon Young: "I don't want to face that guy no more. It's that changeup. He threw me a 2-0 changeup and I thought I broke my bat on my back."

Baseball America's Top 100 Prospect list from 2005 had these Braves' notables included (note that they did not give an ETA last year):

#9 - Andy Marte, 3b / Notice his value on this list fell a bit from '05 to '06. Now he is with Cleveland.
#14 - Jeff Francoeur, of
#25 - Jose Capellan, rhp / He was the prospect we traded to the Brewers for Dan Kolb.
#27 - Ryan Howard, 1b / Eventually won the NL ROY for Philly.
#43 - Dan Meyer, lhp / He was the prized prospect we swapped to the A's for Tim Hudson.
#44 - Brian McCann, c
#53 - Kyle Davies, rhp
#74 - Andy LaRoche, 3b / As mentioned above, he is a Dodgers prospect and brother to Adam.
#92 - Jake Stevens, rhp / Still a Braves' prospect, but his struggles at Myrtle Beach have caused many to devalue him as a top tier prospect.
#99 - Anthony Lerew, rhp

If you are interested in looking back any further, this BA archive goes all the way back to 1990. Steve Avery, Chipper Jones, and Andruw Jones (twice) have all been BA number 1 prospects.
