Grading the Braves Prospects - On the Cusp

Ozzie Albies - Though an injury in the Southern League playoffs ended Albies’ season, he’s probably the closest to making his MLB debut. He slashed .321/.391/.467 in 82 games at AA Mississippi and .248/.301/.351 in 56 games at AAA Gwinnett. Although he didn’t hit as well in his first stint in AAA, I don’t think there’s any doubt Albies can hit at the highest level.

At the beginning of the year including in Spring Training the big question was “Who’s playing shortstop?” Dansby and Ozzie started at both 2B and SS in Spring including being on the field together.
