Dustin Peterson and Travis Demeritte had never played together until coming to the Arizona Fall League and playing for the Salt River Rafters. But they do have a few things in common, beyond both being on the Braves Top 30 prospects list, Demeritte at No. 9 and Peterson at No. 18.
Both are not original members of the Braves organization. They came to the system via trades, and both took place while they were still in A ball. Peterson came by way of the Justin Upton trade with the Padres in December 2014 and this AFL stint is a finishing touch to his second full season in the organization, which was a strong one in Double-A.
