Today, we round out our minor league roster previews with the Rome Braves. Rome is always a tough roster to preview simply because it is these players’ first taste of full season ball. Sure, most of them had time down in rookie ball that we can look at, but that is often such a small sample size and even then...we are talking about really young guys who are still filling out and learning their craft. As a result, much of what we think about these is based on projection....moreso than the other levels of the minors.
With that said, while the 2016 Rome Braves squad could very well go down as historically good, the 2017 incarnation has the chance to perform equally well with tons of talent again in the rotation in addition to some dynamic young position prospects.
