2007 Top 20 Atlanta Braves Prospects

1. Eric Campbell, 3B, Grade B+ really like his bat)
   
2. Elvis Andrus, SS, Grade B+ really like his birthday, lots of development potential)
   
3. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C, Grade B (I am more worried
   about reports of excess weight gain and defensive problems in the
   Arizona Fall League more than his erratic regular season)
   
4. Matt Harrison, LHP, B
   
5. Brandon Jones, OF, B
   
6. Joey Devine, RHP, B (he has been handled poorly but still has a good arm)
   
7. Yunel Escobar, SS, B can read the comment I wrote below)
   
8. Jamie Richmond, RHP, B (an aggressive grade but the numbers are great and my intuition likes him)
   
9. Scott Thorman, OF-1B, B- (below 150 at-bats so he goes in the book)
   
10. Chase Fontaine, SS, B-
    
11. Anthony Lerew, RHP, C+
    
12. Jo-Jo Reyes, LHP, C+ (nice rebound season but slumped down the stretch)
    
13. Neftali Feliz, RHP, C+ (terrific arm but a long way from the majors)
    
14. Kevin Gunderson, LHP, C+
    
15. Kala Kaaihue, 1B, C+ (sleeper bat, watch this guy)
