Mississippi Braves 2017 Roster Preview

Whew lawd...

Okay, let me gather myself. The Braves have recently used their Double-A affiliate as a landing pad for aggressive promotions and there has been a lot of turnover on the roster as a result. One need only look back to last year where Ozzie Albies, despite only just recently (at the time) being able to watch R-rated movie, skipped high-A entirely to start the season at Mississippi. Later we saw Dansby Swanson, Max Povse, and others promoted to Mississippi quickly to supplement losses to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Given that context, it will be interesting to see how the Braves handle roster moves midseason for this team given how many important prospects are on the team and how aggressively some of them were promoted there in the first place.
