LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- As Ronald Acuna has provided every indication he'll be ready whenever the Braves provide him with his much-anticipated Major League debut, Mike Soroka and Austin Riley have enhanced confidence that they, too, might be ready to make an impact for Atlanta at some point this year.
There is certainly a different feel as the Braves progress toward the fourth season of their rebuilding process. The top prospects, who might have seemingly been worlds away just a year or two ago, are now knocking on the door and forming what might be the most influential wave of the organization's future.
