Cabrera's performance was clearly good but not really remarkable given the many weak hitters in the Braves' lineup, including Mat Olson who is in one of his phases where he becomes a well oiled strikeout machine.
People who follow Baseball America and Bleacher Report's farm system ratings of the past 5-6 years knew one day the Braves would implode. Always among the 5 or so weakest Farm systems.
It's sad to see. But having premium draft choices and rebuilding the Farm System are fun to follow as well.
I'd like to see new people in the front office leading the rebuild. And I'd like to see 2 teams in the DSL, just like the Big Boys have done for years.
Two DSL teams is something I've asked for, yeah. Quantity there is the best move because all it costs is money - there's no domestic reserve list to worry about, just the cost of running a second team and housing them at the facility
There still is a real possibility that the Braves did not explode just got injured. The farm produces help to the mlb team like a top 10 even if it is ranked at the bottom. The Braves do not have any blue chip Acuna type prospects, no. But it has enough prospects or it could. The international drafts have not done well for a bit, but that can change quickly. The two teams in the DSL would be great and help the players have a bigger pool of support. Now that the sanctions are fully in the past and the relationships with the folks in the neighborhood you have to deal with should be repaired by now. Hopefully the international drafts get a bit better. If we do change the front office lets get the guys who run the draft for the Padres. They kill it.
