And that doesn't include all the young arms we have in AA, AAA, and Atlanta.

We'll obviously get our share of pitching, but our system is far more barren in terms of legit bats than arms. We have to use some of our top picks on high-upside bats.

I agree on Perez, though. He'll get passed by some of our other pitching prospects before long.
You do realize just how slim that is, right? Atlanta is probably in the bottom half of the league when it comes to overall minor league pitching talent.
