System In 20 Words Or Less: The Braves are rich with pitching, but their positional talent lags well behind. Five-Star Prospects 1. Julio Teheran, RHP 2. Randall Delgado, RHP Four-Star Prospects 3. Arodys Vizcaino, RHP Three-Star Prospects 4. Christian Bethancourt, C 5. Andrelton Simmons, SS 6. Tyler Pastornicky, SS 7. Sean Gilmartin, LHP 8. Edward Salcedo, 3B 9. Matt Lipka, OF 10. Zeke Spruill, RHP Two-Star Prospects 11. J.R. Graham, RHP Nine More: 12. Nick Ahmed, SS: This second-round pick is a competitive grinder with a good approach, but scouts wonder if he can stay on the left side. 13. J.J. Hoover, RHP: Hoover could reach the big leagues this year. His ceiling is a seventh or eighth inning role. 14. Joe Terdoslavich, 1B/3B: He has a chance to boost his stock if he can stick at third, but it's a long shot. 15. Kyle Kubitza, 3B: Kubitza has all the tools to play third base in the big leagues, but his power and defense remain well below what they could be. 16. Brandon Drury, 3B: Drury boasts an impressive bat, but his free-swinging ways could get exposed as he moves up. 17. Carlos Perez, LHP: The lefty tantalizes with talent but frustrates with inconsistency. 18. Adam Milligan, OF: He can really hit, but can't stay on the field due to constant injuries. 19. Todd Cunningham, OF: This 2010 second-rounder has tools, but he disappointed in his full-season debut. 20. Billy Bullock, RHP: A power arm with the stuff of a set-up man, Bullock needs to throw more strikes. 1. Julio Teheran, RHP DOB: 1/27/91 Height/Weight: 6-2/175 Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted/Signed: 2007, Colombia 2011 Stats: 2.55 ERA (144.2-123-48-122) at Triple-A (25 G). 5.03 ERA (19.2-21-8-10) at MLB (5 G) Tools Profile: Above-average stuff and command. Year in Review: Ranked among the top pitching prospects in the game, Teheran dominated at times at Triple-A but struggled in his brief big league showing. The Good: Teheran's combination of polish and stuff gives him easy star potential. He has an easy delivery and sits at 92-94 mph with an explosive fastball that touches 96 and plays up due to his ability to locate. He has a changeup that is now plus and could be a plus-plus monster as he ages. His game is remarkably mature for a 21-year-old; he mixed his pitches well and has outstanding poise. The Bad: Teheran will flash a plus curveball, but it remains an inconsistent pitch, and his inability to command it led to his big league struggles. He scuffled in the minors following his return and seemed to lose focus at times. Ephemera: Teheran pitched 21 fifth innings for Triple-A Gwinnett in 2011, allowing just one earned run. Perfect World Projection: Impact-level front line starter. Fantasy Impact: Teheran is worth drafting now, but keep in mind that he could be six-to-eight years away from peaking. Path to the Big Leagues: A crowded picture at the big league level means Teheran will begin the year back at Triple-A. At his age, there is no reason to rush him. ETA: Late 2012. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=15982 --
