In response to ""Braves still have interest in Chris Sale and Chris Archer, even after adding Colon, Dickey and Garcia. They prefer Sale over Archer."" by ML

everyone should have interest in him. But I don't love the Braves prospects

I do like Newcomb, but after that, blech

Responses:

I think they have a deep farm system and it's rated one of the best. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 07:41 1
- I know, I just don't love them. - groiny Dec 2, 07:42
We're barely even the best farm system in baseball. -- nm - David Dec 2, 07:39 12
- you have nice prospects, just none that I really want for Sale. - groiny Dec 2, 07:40 11
  - Because our best pitchers were at Rome, where they had an ERA of about 0.4 for the playoffs. - David Dec 2, 07:45 10
    - and you have 2 prospects ranked in the top 50, with Newcomb at 37 and Albies at 12? -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 07:46 9
      - That's the problem with prospects lists. We just theoretically traded for Seattle's #1 player. - David Dec 2, 07:51 8
        
        it is whichever prospect list is on mlb.com app - groiny Dec 2, 07:54 7
        
        Okay, that's one they'll update in February. - David Dec 2, 08:08 6
        
        and all that being said, I have no idea why they would be in the market for Sale right now. -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 08:11 3
        
        You can never have too much pitching. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 08:13 2
        
        I get that, but they are not likely gonna win anything until 2018 at the earliest. -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 08:16 1
        
        I was taking why Boston would be in the market -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 08:30
        
        I like Newcomb and Anderson, Maitan, but they are all at least 2 years away. - groiny Dec 2, 08:10 1
        
        Allard was the best high school pitcher in last year's draft by a fairly decent amount, but he hurt his back about two months before the draft. - David Dec 2, 08:30
Dansby! But I'm guessing he's off the table. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 2, 07:34 2
- I do not see the Braves moving him. -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 07:35 1
  - I'm told you should always try to sell your stolen goods. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 07:52
Albies is the guy I keep seeing as part of a package -- nm - ML Dec 2, 07:33 3
- It's Folty or Wisler who would anchor the package. - David Dec 2, 07:42 1
  - I sure as shit hope if we move a cost controlled Sale, we get more than that -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 07:43
- Sale should net 3 excellent prospects, his contract is super friendly -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 07:34
