@ChoppinBravos @LockedOn_Braves @ShortStopBall Good question

Who else has been a louder Ritchie supporter than I have? No one. I still think he's got great potential for a middle-of-the-rotation innings eater (whatever that might be these days). The fact they have him on the yo-yo to AAA is stupid. Love Caminiti, but I say Briggs would be off limits only because I think Cam would have significant trade value right now (mainly since he's a bit closer), meaning you'd want Briggs be off the table. The #Braves will not want to trade Fuentes or Ritchie, and then you look below and Cam is going to come up a lot in conversations. And, again, I love Caminiti. I do believe, however, they may draft several pitchers next month, which you would almost look at as replacements for whomever might be dealt before August 3's deadline. As for someone who wrote that no one is off limits for the right player, well, duh. Of course. But I was asked who would be off limits if I were the GM, so I answered it. Those are the ones I would tell teams are unavailable. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be traded, but only the ones I would work hard to not include in a trade.

My Top 100 Prospects

Eric Hartman is putting up numbers that place him alongside some of the biggest names in Braves prospect history—Atlanta may have found another gem, and he could be in the big leagues sooner rather than later. 🤩 #BravesCountry "There’s a real chance that Eric Hartman could be on the Michael Harris trajectory, where you looked up and Michael was in Double-A at 20 years old. And then you turned around, and he was in the bigs." @RealMattlanta @kingcfb

Eric Hartman is the only teenager to post a .300 AVG, .950 OPS, 15+ HR, and 25+ SB in High-A since 2006. The only player age 20-or-younger to do it before him? Elly De La Cruz. Hartman is also doing it in one of the toughest hitting environments in Minor League Baseball.

Since the graduation of the Baby Braves, the ATL farm system has been ranked near the bottom of lists. This season, that narrative has shifted and Eric Hartman is leading the charge. Come learn a little bit more about the former 20th round Canadian prep draftee ⬇️

One of the fastest-rising prospects in the minors, Eric Hartman has blossomed from a 20th-round selection into a bona fide top-100 prospect. Our @TGreenhutOD has more on Hartman's rise through the Braves' system: justbaseball.com/prospects/eric…

Homecourt Scouting Report: The 2029 NBA Draft will be a generational Big Man Draft Tier 1: Elite Lottery/Top-5 Potential (Highest upside bigs with star trajectories) 1. Yann Kamagate – 7-1 – NY (Burkina Faso), Class of 2028
 Yann Kamagate is a 7’1”, 230-pound center in the class of 2028 from St. Francis HS (La Cañada Flintridge, CA), who plays club ball for Compton Magic. A Burkina Faso native with just a few years of organized basketball experience, he possesses elite size, length (reported ~7’9” wingspan), and mobility for his frame, enabling him to run the floor like a guard, finish lobs explosively, dominate the glass, and anchor defenses as a rim protector with elite shot-blocking instincts. A top-5 national prospect with a sky-high ceiling, Kamagate is a modern matchup nightmare still refining his offensive skill set and frame while drawing major college interest as one of the fastest risers in high school basketball.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 2. Bamba Touray – 7-0 – Bradenton, FL (Senegal), Class of 2028 Coordinated 7-footer with elite mobility, ball skills, and explosiveness (soccer background). Dominant at IMG with advanced touch and passing. Top-3-5 center; strong lottery projection for 2029 if development holds. Tier 2: High Lottery to Mid-Lottery Projections 3. Dylan Betts – 7-2/7-3 – Englewood, CO (IMG), Class of 2028 7-3 prospect with elite length, fluidity, and emerging perimeter skills. Top-10-15 overall / top-5 center; productive rim protector and stretch threat with high-floor/ceiling appeal. Secure lottery outlook in 2029. 4. Eric Dampier Jr. – 6-11 – Madison, MS, Class of 2028 Athletic, explosive 6-11 finisher and rim protector with strong efficiency and defensive impact. USA U16 gold; top-10-15 rankings. Mid-to-late lottery projection with continued polish. Tier 3: First-Round Projections 5. Jeremy Gohier – 7-6 – Quebec, Canada, Class of 2028/2029 7-6 mobility outlier with touch, passing, and shot-blocking. Raw but high-upside project; late lottery to mid-first round range based on coordination and skill growth. 6. Gangaly Diallo – 6-11/7-0 – France (~2028-2030) Athletic French big with length, blocking, and emerging shooting. High-upside international prospect on youth national teams. First-round projection with strong development potential. Tier 4: Late First / Early Second Round 7. Maxime Meyer – 7-1 – Duke (Canada), Class of 2026 Skilled, long 7-1 with versatility, rebounding, and passing. College-ready with solid U18 production. Safe rotation big; late first to early second round projection.

2026 Draft Top Prospect Combine Data... Thoughts?

My Way-Too-Early 2027 NFL Draft OL Rankings 1. Texas OT Trevor Goosby 2. Iowa OG Kade Pieper 3. LSU OT Jordan Seaton 4. South Carolina OT Jacarrius Peak 5. Ohio St. OG* Austin Siereveld 6. SMU OT PJ Williams 7. Stanford OT Niki Prongos 8. Indiana OC* Carter Smith 9. Kentucky OT Lance Heard 10. Missouri OG* Cayden Green

Trevor Goosby is still my OT #1 to begin this process, but I am excited to see what Jordan Seaton can do playing weekly in the SEC this year.

Falcons schematics & Zachariah Branch note: "With the introduction of Kevin Stefanski and Tommy Rees, the Falcons are expected to run a lot of 12 personnel (one running back and two tight ends) this season. This means that Kyle Pitts Jr. will have his usual important role, but Austin Hooper or Charlie Woerner will also be on the field for an extended period." "Branch was the talk of OTAs. The rookie out of Georgia has electric speed and playmaking that Kevin Stefanski and his offensive staff will find a role for, whether that is with designed plays on offense or as the primary returner."

NBA front offices are also scared of what JB represents. They love him on the court, but he’s an outspoken black man, a highly intelligent outspoken black man. He’s socially conscious and relevant. Desmond Bane got traded for 4 #1s this time last year. Miss me wit the bs lol

Jaylen Brown’s trade value isn’t that high around the league, per @BobbyMarks42 “I had an analytics guy tell me, ‘We view [Jaylen Brown] as the seventh-best player on a TEAM.’”😳 (Via @SiriusXMNBA )

@CloudTechJay Congrats we need more of this 💪🏿

This photo was taken two years and 10 days ago. Not six years ago. And his play hasn’t dropped off, at all. His team hasn’t won another chip, but they haven’t cratered. He didn’t get hurt, or call anyone on his squad out. It’s amazing to me that we are where we are right now.

Build a statue for Onsi if he can pull off a Kispert + 2nds for Rob Williams sign and trade
