Thoughts on the Braves farm system as a whole? Are the lower levels strong enough to make up for a lack of talent at the top?

You make a good point about the Brewers pitching prospects. It’s definitely a better option than blowing $10 million/year on the likes of Suppan. I was hoping that maybe there was a little more there than what has shown up in the numbers…especially w/ guys like Jungmann, Bradley, Hellwig. I was a little disappointed when they went the safe route in drafting Jungmann and Bradley (college arms that were close) and didn’t go for a guy with more upside in one of those slots…like Guerrieri. The Brewers could really use a guy who could front a rotation.

What’s up with Mason Williams’ makeup problems? Is he just a cocky 20 year old who’s Googled himself one time too many or do you think it will be a real problem?

35 round 15 team league 5 x 5…..Can you name 5 prospects I should consider for the last pick??? In 2007, I chose Cargo, In 2009, I chose Heyward. Last year, I chose Josh Bell. So I’ve had good and bad.
