The first year of the rebuild was unkind to the Braves, as they finished 2015 with a 67-95 record.
The good news about rebuilding is that it yields high draft picks, allowing teams to restock their prospect cupboard. These high picks, in tandem with the ability to spread out the allotted bonus pools, can inject a massive amount of talent into a farm system over three short days.
Due to some creative trading by exiled former GM John Coppolella, the Braves had 5 of the top 76 picks in this draft; accordingly, they also had the highest bonus pool ($15,516,300).
