Here’s the current breakdown of Atlanta Braves prospect grades for 2017. As many people have pointed out, there is a large amount of depth in this system, particularly on the pitching side, but hitting is a lot less impressive to my mind (once you get past Swanson and Albies) and relies a lot on toolsy players at the lower levels who haven't done much yet.
There are 51 players I am looking at, listed below. There were about 20 other guys considered. The grade breakdown so far:
Grade A: One
Grade A-: One
Grade B+: Three
Grade B: Four
Grade B-: 11
Grade C+ : 14
Grade C: 20 or more
