The very bottom of the list is a bit misleading. I could go 300 deep with guys that I see with some level of feasible major league future. That doesn’t mean that they’re likely to reach that future by any means.

There are plenty here with tremendous talent, though, like Rodriguez, Downs, and Mitchell who have really shown plenty this year in small exposure that could indicate big things to come.

The two Braves arms here both could rank much higher on a lot of lists, but with the depth in the Braves system, they get buried a bit. Wilson has seen some struggles in his promotion to AA, though he’s got a tremendous fastball/change/slider combo that could play very well as a multi-inning reliever. Wentz’s inconsistent velocity is still an issue at times, but he’s really pitched well around it, and he could find himself much higher in the offseason list.

Next: #111-130
