I’m writing this article after the Braves season ended in a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Dodgers. While it was a disappointing ending to their season, it was great to see the Braves excelling on the backs of a lot of young kids. Two prospects, Ian Anderson and Cristian Pache played significant roles for the team in the deciding game. As a prospect writer, you can’t be any happier. Fortunately, both make our list as they still have rookie eligibility.
While the Braves system is not what it used to be when Acuna and Swanson were leading the list, there is still talent. In addition to Pache and Anderson, the power-speed combination that Drew Waters brings to the game could be huge for fantasy managers. The Braves love both Braden Shewmake and William Contreras. I’ve seen both play and they both have full-time regular upside. Throw-in some big lefty arms and the Braves window appears to be just opening.
