Well that I can agree with, but Braves fans are overreacting because Allard is a former 1st round & top 100 prospect. Unfortunately that’s just not what his value is today.
It’s nothing like trading Dunning, who if healthy is no doubt a far superior prospect than Allard. Also, BA’s latest prospect rankings (at least for the Sox) are terrible.
Yeah, it’s a good system but don’t forget they promoted a ton of guys that made it so special (Acuna, Albies, Riley, Soroka, etc). It’s not nearly as deep as it once say and it’s very top heavy now.
He’s not a 50 FV prospect though. FG has him rated as a 40 now. Pipeline’s grades are never realistic unless you think the Rangers have 16 legit 50 FV prospects (that’s where he’s currently ranked). He’s a post-hype prospect without the pure stuff to really reclaim his lost status. He’s a fine return for Martin and could end being a solid back-end starter down the road, but people are most definitely overreacting to the name and former top 100 ranking.
