The Atlanta Braves Farm System is EXCITING!

There’s going to be so many prospects very soon that it’s going to be pretty doggone overwhelming to keep up with a list.

I’ve been very outspoken about my favorite prospect guru over the last few years, and I really do love what John Sickels over @MinorLeagueBall has done for all that follow the minors. In our time today, I will look back at his list for 2016, discuss who lost/gained ground or stayed the course, look at a few removals either due to graduating prospect status or poor performance, add some new names to the list, then finally re-submit a new top prospects list.

Remember, this is solely my opinion and what’s great about prospect lists is that everything is debatable and should make for good conversation in the comments. Without further adieu, let’s get this thing rolling with the original list with was published Valentine’s Day, 2016 followed by a quick analysis on the prospects’ new status
