[bravesfan1984]

Hey guys, just wanted to set this thread up with a few links for Braves prospects to help with the OSFM rosters. Also, for any other roster discussions:

There are so many pitching prospects it's going to be very tough to pick which ones make it due to roster limitations. But I'm hyped to get a franchise going with all the talent in the system!

Yeah, problem is a lot of the talent especially pitching will all be in high A and low a besides Newcomb(AAA), Weigel(AA) and possibly fried(AA)

How close to major league ready will Acuna be? I have seen where his MLB ETA is 2020 and I know he's only going to be 19 for 2017 but I really want to get him up to the Braves asap (?2017?) with an obligatory 'hakuna matata' walkup. If his OverAll is well below 65 (and I assume it will be?) I'll hold off promoting him to the majors. If he is even close to 65, and even if it stunts his growth, I may let him ride the bench as the 5th OF'er. I really dont want to wait til 2018 or later to promote him up to the bigs but I guess I will if I have to. lol no patience lol
On one of last years (OSFM V3.5?) rosters Acuna was a 58 and a C potential so there was no way I'd call him up then. Maybe his potential will be slightly/greatly higher this year? I am just ready to get my Acuna Matata going.

great work on Acuna guys! looks like it will be 2018 before I can realistically bring him up to the bigs, if then.
I have my work cut out for me, getting him up and running as quick as possible.
thanx again, Caulfield.

Acuna hasn't played a full season yet he was hurt a good part of last year in Rome. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to low a to get more at bats before he is promoted to high a. I think 2020 is a good ETA at best he will be up late 2019.

This is probably not the place to ask, but does anybody know if Brian Snitker is in "the show 17"? I ask because in the past games 1st year managers have not always made it in.

I think you know the answer.

Edit: actually, was he a coach on any MLB team last year?

Considering he managed quite a few games last season, I'd think he would be in the game.
