Good morning, everyone. It is November 11th, about 915 in the morning. This is our hot prospects of, I guess not of the week, but just our hot prospects of the Atlanta Braves. I released that last Friday for everyone. Our Patreon members got all 21 players in the system.

Everybody else got the top 10.

And obviously, we are the day following Drake Baldwin winning the rookie of the year in the National League.

And it's like, you know, it's just I was thinking about it as I was trying to figure out kind of how to introduce the Atlanta Braves.

But every time I go through their system, I think, eh, it's not that good.

There's always a couple, three players that look promising. And those couple three players always seem to make major contributions.

I mean, it is pretty impressive.

Drake Baldwin was highly rated, as was A.J. Smith's Shaver coming in.

Shaver looked great before his elbow broke down on him.

And obviously, Drake Baldwin was great the entire season and wound up as rookie of the year.

And then you just looked through the roster, Ronald Acuna, one of the best players in the league, was a homegrown player, Austin Riley. You know, he's had a rough couple of seasons,

but, you know, really showed some flashes. Obviously, homegrown Ozzy Albies. I think he's

way overrated. He's only 28 years old, but he was homegrown.

Michael Harris has shown flashes.

And if he could just learn to develop a little bit more plate patience, he could be one of the better players in the league.

He was homegrown.

And then their pitching staff with Schwellenbach, Strider, and Waldrop, listed, you know, as three of the top five starters, all homegrown.

And you can even argue, I'm at Alson's not homegrown, but Freddie Freeman was.

And if you remember, they flipped Friedman for Olson.

So, you know, you can, was it Freeman?

Who'd they flip for Olson?

No, Olson was with Oakland.
