I think a few of those Braves hitters are still rated too high.

I liked the aggressive grade on Simmons

I feel like most people are underrating him whether its not putting enough emphasis on his defense, not taking into account experience relative to league, not taking into account how good he hit compared to the rest of the Carolina League, or some combination of those three.

Simmons

I liked the aggressive grade as well. Why the change in grade? This is a player who skipped a league, won a batting title and played brilliant defense….
