Braves minor leaguers

The reason the Braves can even talk about trading Jair Jurrjens is the logjam of starting pitching talent near ready for the majors. Expect to see super prospect Julio Teheran get a call up this season. He is the best pitching prospect in baseball according to many.
Arodis Vizcaino and Randall Delgado should also pitch in Atlanta this year and lefty Sean Gilmartin has his fans too.
There's less help rising for the offense. Tyler Pastornicky may get the starting shortstop job. He can play defense and get on base some. Don't look for a lot of offense from him.
A possible replacement for Chipper one day may be Edward Salcedo, who I saw at Rome last year. I wasn't blown away but the organization is high on him. The same is true for catcher Christian Bethancourt who can hit for average but needs to develop his power. He has a cannon arm but isn't smooth at all behind the plate. Bethancourt really struggled with bad pitches when I saw him and he needs a ton of work or a position change.
Andreth Simmons is predicted by many to surpass Pastornicky but he is still very raw.
The system has developed several good starters the last few years, including Venters, Kimbrel, Heyward, Freeman and Jurjjens, but an infusion of young hitters is needed. Hopefully if the Braves do move a player or two, they can net a minor league hitter with some thump to the deal.
Look for the young pitchers this year; ?????? on when some bat help will come up.
