In the lead-up to the 2020 season that we are crossing our fingers and toes will actually happen, we are previewing the prospects and lesser known names in the Braves’ player pool. We had already covered the big name guys in our roster previews months ago, so don’t expect to see write-ups on Albies or Soroka in this space. This series is more about getting to know the prospects and other names that could see time in the big leagues as members of the player pool, but aren’t locks for it.
Case in point: Chad Sobotka is, at this point anyways, the definition of a guy that has some talent, but based the Braves’ current roster composition combined with his track record, he is more of a guy that is going to provide depth that has a bit of upside during a season where a roster’s depth is going to be tested the entire season for every club.
