As part of season reviews for major league players and top prospect ranking for minor league players, we here at Talking Chop thought it would be a fun idea to get all of our bloggers together with the help of Google Docs and debate the various aspects of each position in the Braves organization. The participants are, yours truly (gondeee, indicated by MG), yondaime4 (indicated by MF), royhobbs (indicated by DH), and cbwilk (indicated by CBW). The round table for left fielders in the Braves organization is after the jump. MG:  No way that Garret Anderson even sniffs a Braves uniform next year, right?DH:  Nah, likely not.  Even if the Braves relied solely on internal candidates to man the position, it's still a cheaper alternative with Diaz, McLouth, and Church, left to right.  He didn't exactly win any fans over with his lackadaisical play, and I hardly think anyone's really going to miss him at all.CBW: You'd hope not.

Adding Hudson means subtracting who?

Obviously one of their starting pitchers must go due to financial reasons so I listed the highs and lows of each. The Braves have three pitchers who are on the trade block [...]

Read: Vazquez and the Braves

Joe D over at MetsMerized Online wonders if Braves starter Javier Vazquez has become expendible, and if so, it might be worth it for the Mets to look into acquiring him. Vazquez just completed his tenth consecutive season in which he has made 30 starts, and finished the year 15-10 with a 2.87 ERA in 219 [...]
