@dylanxshort I think this is fair
For me, I put more value in the hits playing for years together at the mlb level rather than being top 10 farm system rankings like some apparently do (not saying this about you)

@StatsSAC They're weird. They hit 1 draft pick out of the park every season, sometimes 2, but they don't do well across the board. The 24 class looks like it might change the narrative, but they've been kind of a boom/bust draft team
English
The Braves not drafting or developing well is a blatant lie
Not only is the core home grown, Drake Baldwin and Michael Harris II are two of past four NL ROYs
Strider, Schwellenbach also have come in past four years and many other talented arms on the way
Talent is a plenty
ATL Sky Chop@LeftTurnsRock
@StatsSAC They don’t develop or draft well enough to have attractive farm depth, and don’t do well or have fortunate luck with injuries while being a Luxury tax paying team. C’est la Vie

Austin Riley turning into the Top 10 MVP version of himself again would be a great development
Underdog MLB@UnderdogMLB
Austin Riley homers off Garrett Crochet over the Monster Riley this spring: .371 BA 5 HR 10 RBI 1.294 OPS
English
@RyanLottinger You many want to look at the numbers closer, because the trend you trying to point out is false lol
English
@StatsSAC I'm just breezing through war. It's not perfect. But it shows this trend
And Austin's first two seasons he had 200 at bats.
His first full season was his third season.
English
Austin Riley was a Top 7 NL MVP finisher his 3rd, 4th, and 5th MLB seasons
Albies was an All Star in his Fifth and 7th seasons
If folks wanna be negative, to each their own
But making stuff up just to be more negative is nonsense 😂
AAisEpsteinsHandler@RyanLottinger
@StatsSAC Ozzie had his best years his first two seasons. Riley, the same. Harris the same. They came. They popped. And haven't added anything to their games since. The braves developed the player. But it stopped once they got up. Acuna is an alien. So it's not really the same.
English
@NathanMcKinnon Smarter people don’t agree with you, but I guess being negative is the cool thing to do lol
English
@StatsSAC They had a C- offseason and that’s being generous.
Marginally passable.
They should’ve done more to help the rotation issues with losses and injuries.
I simply believe they are a 3rd place team barring severe over performance or massive injury issues to teams ahead of us.

The Braves had a good offseason
But countering the losses of

Wentz

Dominic Smith
Kyle Farmer
In Spring Training doesn’t feel good for business
The Braves are very good on paper, but a ton of risk exists as well
English
@RyanLottinger @StatsSAC They have had jewels come up and have a good cup of tea. They have not been able to develop enough depth to do that + trade while at seemingly their maximum payroll and not willing to commit to years on the FA Market.
English
Including their respective rookie years:
Albies is 4th in fWAR among 2b (since 2017)
Riley is 8th among 3b (2019)
Acuna is 4th among RF (2018)
Harris ll is 9th among CF (2022)
Yes, the past 2 years have been struggles for most, but the homegrown core has grown just fine
AAisEpsteinsHandler@RyanLottinger
@StatsSAC You can say something about the development once they hit the majors. No one has really improved since their rookie year pop. (Minus the Acuna crazy strikeout drop year) But the minor league development has been great.
English
@LeftTurnsRock Ans yet many sources give them Top Five odds to win the World Series
They should have gone out and added more depth over the past few weeks, no doubt
But keep your lies and negativity to yourself
English
@StatsSAC They’re far from the worst, but the notion of them being one of the best drafting and development teams has been severely blown out of proportion solely because guys come up and have a good rookie campaign and either are hurt all the time or decline.

One of the favorite movies from

Chuck Norris was a legend among legends, just a tremendous person and presence
May he rest in peace

Cam Smith is one of my favorite potential breakouts this year. He's an athlete (see list) and the polish will come with more reps.

The unfortunate truth about the clash in styles is that Miami Ohios ability to add points through threes and extra possessions through pace negates UTs ability get the possession advantage through OREBs
If Miami gets hot from 3, could be troublesome for Vols
Ryan Schumpert@ryanschumpert00
Tennessee-Miami is a real styles makes fights game. -Tennessee is the best offensive rebounding team in the tournament. Miami is the second worst. -Miami takes 45.3% of its shots from three-point range and has five players who have made 30-plus triples. Tennessee takes 31.7% of its shots from three-point range with two players who have made 30-plus triples. -Miami plays at the 57th fastest pace. Tennessee plays at the 307th fastest pace.

Man this sucks
The Pistons franchise and fanbase have endured a lot to be in the great position they are in currently
And they all deserve it
Cade is magnificent and this just horrible to see
Hope he gets good as soon as possible and Detroit’s chances to contend remain
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Just in: Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and is expected to miss an extended period of time, sources tell ESPN.
English
Tonight’s results are a big deal for Memphis.
At Pick 8, Grizz either have 30% of picking top 4 or 70% chance picking 8th or later
At Pick 7, Grizz have 35% chance of pick Top 4 and 51% of picking 7 or 8
So going from 8th to 7th slot is over 20% increase to stay in top 8
