Nice. I feel like you might even be underrating Shaw. He had a monster 2nd half and is a great post-hype sleeper after a bit of a meh season stat line. Plays everywhere. Just seems like he will be a valuable guy to me.

[Braves]

Fun little exercise...

1. Nolan McLean, RHP
2. Spencer Schwellenbach, RHP
3. Masyn Winn, SS
4.Andrew Painter, RHP
5. Eduardo Quintero, OF
6. Owen Caissie, OF
7. Cam Smith, OF
8. Hurston Waldrep, RHP
9. Taj Bradley, RHP
10. Brody Hopkins, RHP

HM (Alphabetical): Enrique Bradfield (OF), Jordan Beck (OF), Slade Cladwell (OF), Antwone Kelly (RHP), Brice Matthews (2B), Jefferson Rojas (SS), Justin Wrobleski (LHP)

Lots on interchangeable places on the list depending on preferences. Need a handful of the hitters to take a step forward over the next year or two for sure.

Having a beer, watching the game, why not?

1. Colten Emerson (20)
2. Emmanuel Rodriguez (22)
3. Cam Schlittler (24)
4. Moises Ballesteros (21)
5. Ryan Waldschmidt (22)
6. Lazaro Montes (20)
7. Carlos Lagrange (22)
8. Jett Williams (21)
9. Theo Gillen (20)
10. JR Ritchie (22)

Just Missed: Elmer Rodriguez (22), Jacob Reimer (21), Demetrio Crisantes (21), Kendry Chourio (17), Esteban Mejia (18), Khal Stephen (22), Justin Martinez (24), #10, #19, #22

Honorable Mention: Lucas Braun (24), Caden Dana (21), Chase Hampton (24), Trevor Harrison (20), Andrew Walters (24), Tre' Morgan (23), Adael Amador (22), Kellon Lindsey (20), Yandel Ricardo (18), Chase Harlan (19)

I've got 15 guys that were on Mid-Season Top 100 lists last year and 3 other guys who were on Top 100 Lists in 2024 but not last year. None of that includes any of my picks, Chourio, Mejia, Lindsey, Ricardo, or Harlan who all have huge upside. I'm terrible at being patient, but there's a pretty cool pathway to success if I can be for 2 more seasons.

Heavily considered Emerson (along w/ Eldridge) when I drafted De Vries. Also thought hard about Gillen when I took Caminiti - might regret that one. I'd def have Mejia in the top 10.
