Talking Chop Reviews The Braves' 2010 Season

by Scott Coleman on Dec 5, 2010 4:30 AM EST

Well folks, the reviews began on October 13th and they concluded on Friday, December 3rd. 33 players from this past season were reviewed, and just about every prospect in the Braves' farm system was covered. I can't speak for all of our phenomenal authors, but I found great joy in reviewing the guys from this past season. After all, it was a pretty wild and magical year. In case you missed any of the reviews (or would like to re-read them in the future), here are all of them. Enjoy.

Catcher: Brian McCann, David Ross
1st Base: Troy Glaus, Derrek Lee, Eric Hinske
2nd Base: Martin Prado, Omar Infante, Brooks Conrad
3rd Base: Chipper Jones
Shortstop: Yunel Escobar, Alex Gonzalez
Outfield: Rick Ankiel, Melky Cabrera, Matt Diaz, Jason Heyward, Nate McLouth

Starting Pitchers: Tim Hudson, Tommy Hanson, Derek Lowe, K enshin Kawkami, Jair Jurrjens, Mike Minor and Brandon Beachy
Relief Pitchers: Billy Wagner, Takashi Saito, Craig Kimbrel, Jonny Venters, Eric O'Flaherty, Peter Moylan, Kyle Farnsworth, Mike Dunn, Cristhian Martinez and Scott Proctor

Offensive MVP and LVP: Jason Heyward and Nate McLouth
Pitching MVP and LVP: Tim Hudson and Kenshin Kawakami
Defensive MVP and LVP: Jason Heyward and Troy Glaus

Top Prospect Reviews:
Catcher
First Base
Second Base
Third Base
Shortstop
Outfield
Right-Handed Starting Pitchers 1-5, Right-Handed Starting Pitchers 6-10
Left-Handed Starting Pitchers 1-5, Left-Handed Starting Pitchers 6-10
Relief Pitchers 1-5, Relief Pitchers 6-10

Well, there it is. Even though we have concluded all our reviews, don't think for one minute the coverage on Talking Chop will end. Next week, we'll be unveiling our top-25 prospects lists, and the readers will also be allowed to compose their top-25 lists. We'll also have full coverage of the Winter Meetings, and as always, we'll be on top of any breaking news.

Thank you to all of our readers. Without you, this site wouldn't exist. Let's all have a great rest of 2010 and even better 2011.

There's more?...

I woulda swore your lazy asses were shutting things down until pitchers and catchers report. Because you are all lazy, and in some cases bet whelchers.

A sincere thanks

for all the hard work you all put into this site. I know I don’t post much, but I literally come here every day to check out the updates and see what everyone else is saying. This is by far my favorite website.

Detailed summaries on the performances of thirty-three players and a multitude of prospects, pro bono? Sounds like lazy journalism to me.

I kid. Great job to all involved.

Keep that trophy nice and shiny for us next year. ;)

The birth of Jason Heyward was God’s punishment for the sins of the people in New York and Philly.

Jayson Werth to the Nationals?

I don't know when I laughed more

Werth to the Nats or Werth for 7 years

by GoBravesNY on Dec 5, 2010 5:06 PM EST up reply actions

The Nationals are incredibly stupid.

Their young guys won’t be ready for at least two years, and what does a guy like Dunn or Werth do for them? An extra 5 wins, so they’re 65-97 instead of 60-102?

Stupid. I’ll take it though.

I guessed it...

Proofs in rosterbation thread.

All it does is appease the Nats fans. I figured Lee would be signed before this, making them even more desperate before settling on Werth. They must be more desperate than previously thought.

It’s rough to sit through these games and not have someone that can’t hit a Ball?

You ain't the only one...

no OF, a prime free agent OF from within the division to a team that’s been begging to sign a big name free agent for a little while now? Too much of a fit for this not to happen.
