Jason Heyward and Jonny Venters made significant impacts while making their big league debuts in 2010—Heyward won Baseball America's Rookie of the Year Award—before Brandon Beachy, Freddie Freeman and Craig Kimbrel were integral parts of an 89-win season in 2011. Despite the a 9-18 freefall in September that turned what appeared to be a certain wild-card berth into a near miss, the Braves have enough young talent to remain optimistic about the future. In addition to Beachy, Freeman and Kimbrel, Atlanta also received contributions from Randall Delgado and Mike Minor. Top prospects Julio Teheran and Arodys Vizcaino made cameos in the majors, and unheralded farmhands such as Jose Constanza, Cristhian Martinez and Anthony Varvaro also chipped in. Most of them will figure prominently in the club's plans for 2012. Player development always has been a priority for the Braves and helped bolster the big league club at the trading deadline. GM Frank Wren acquired Michael Bourn, who filled holes in center field and atop the lineup, from the Astros in exchange for former top prospect Jordan Schafer and pitchers Juan Abreu, Paul Clemens and Brett Oberholtzer. Wren was adamant about not trading any of his six best prospects and emerged from the process with those pieces intact. Down on the farm, the Braves provided an example of how development and winning don't go hand in hand. Atlanta's six farm clubs combined for a .469 winning percentage—27th among 30 organizations. Rookie-level Danville was the only affiliate to reach postseason play. In the meantime, individual accomplishments were plentiful. In between making his major league debut and spending September in Atlanta, Teheran ranked second in the minors with 15 victories and was the Triple-A International League's pitcher and rookie of the year. First baseman Joey Terdoslavich's 52 doubles broke a high Class A Carolina League record that had stood for 65 seasons. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons won the CL batting title at .311, while catcher Evan Gattis did the same in the low Class A South Atlantic League with a .322 mark. J.R. Graham, a fourth-round pick in June, led the Rookie-level Appalachian League with a 1.72 ERA. In scouting director Tony DeMacio's two years on the job, Atlanta has shifted its draft philosophy. The Braves used to focus on younger players and mined talent-rich Georgia as well as any club protected its borders. Now they concentrate primarily on college players who might have lower ceilings but cost less and will move faster through the minors. Atlanta has spent just $7.6 million on DeMacio's two drafts, which ranks ahead of only the White Sox in bonus spending over the last two years. Those drafts have yielded Simmons, the system's best position prospect, and 2011 first-rounder Sean Gilmartin, its best lefthander. The Braves also remain active on the international front but aren't in the market for the big-bucks prospects like they were when they signed Teheran for $850,000 in 2007. Farm director Kurt Kemp resigned on Sept. 1, and Atlanta decided to replace him from within. Assistant GM Bruce Manno will now oversee player development and Kemp's former assistant, Ronnie Richardson, was promoted to director of minor league operations. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 223.142.161.75
