Talking Chop

Here's a look at the major stories in the world of the Atlanta Braves for the week ending on January 3rd, it was a slow week:

  In the Press...

• David O'Brien at the AJC speculated that the moves are definitely not over for the Braves, who likely have between $7 and $9 million left to spend.
  

At Talking Chop...

• The Fan Confidence dropped for the third consecutive fortnight, indicating that Braves fans are none too happy about the direction the team is taking this off-season.
• I posited that the Braves should trade Melky Cabrera now and get some value in return.
• We asked fans to vote as to where newly acquired pitching prospect Arodys Vizcaino should rank in the Braves top prospects. The results reveal that we will rank him fourth, behind Julio Teheran, and in front of Mike Minor.
• With all that money the Braves apparently have left over, I asked who the team should sign.
