MAILBAG: Why take Braves ace Max Fried to arbitration over $1.5 Million?

On today's mailbag, we're answering YOUR questions! We got lots of questions about the Braves taking Max Fried to arbitration over a measly $1.5M (and winning). We also discuss Mets pitchers Calvin Ziegler and Bryce Montes de Oca, go through a list of recent draftees for Matt to figure out who has the best odds of making it to the bigs (we like Cardinals catcher Jimmy Crooks, Padres OF Jacob Marsee, and Rays infielder Willy Vasquez), and what to look for when going to minor league games and evaluating prospects.
