Talking Chop was the first to let everyone know that Joey Terdoslavich was the Braves 2011 Player of the Year -- a whole four days ago. (Come on lame stream media, how you gonna let a blog scoop you like that!) At that time we speculated that Julio Teheran would be named the Pitcher of the Year (not a hard leap), and he has in fact been named the Pitcher of the Year.
Here is the just-released full list of Players and Pitchers of the Year from every level of the Braves system:
| Level | Pitcher of Year | Player of Year |
| Organizational | Julio Teheran | Joe Terdoslavich |
| Gwinnett Braves | Mike Minor | Stefan Gartrell |
| Mississippi Braves | Randall Delgado | Tyler Pastornicky |
| Lynchburg Hillcats | Zeke Spruill | Andrelton Simmons |
| Rome Braves | Chasen Shreve | Evan Gattis |
| Danville Braves | J.R. Graham | Brandon Drury |
| Gulf Coast League Braves | Yean Carlos Gil | Felix Marte |
| Dominican Summer League | Oriel Caicedo | Jose Peraza |
Nice of them to misspell their own player's name, it's really Jean Carlos Gil, not Yean. Unless, MiLB has it wrong.
No real surprises on this list. Chasen Shreve is not a name you hear a lot, though there weren't many good pitching performances at Rome this year. We should keep our eye on all of the prospects on this list below Rome. Graham and Drury will likely make many prospect lists (they make ours), and I'm really high on Gil and Peraza. Marte runs together in my mind with Carlos Franco -- they're both similar players, and both from the same town in the DR. Caidedo is a pitchability prospect from Panama. Mauricio Cabrera is the big arm in the DSL for the Braves, though he didn't hit his stride until the end of the season. Both Cabrera and Caicedo (and Peraza) are just 17 years old.
Gattis is an amazing feel-good story, and someone on whom a lot will likely be written this off-season. He's older, but he went the Josh Hamilton route, and could become a great prospect if he can find a position.

Chasen Shreve is my real life friend

Teheran
Any idea why Derek Lowe is starting Friday against the Mets, and not Teheran?
If it’s because Teheran has thrown too many pitches and his velocity is slowing down, then okay, I’ll accept that.
But given their overall performance this year and in their most recent starts (Julio beat the Mets in his) I’d rather give Teheran regular work at this point. Lowe could probably use the rest.
it was a choice between keeping Delgado or Teheran in the rotation
and move the other to the pen, Teheran going to the pen probably increase his odd of making the post season roster

Playoff Roster Pen is going to be a circus
Kimbrel, Venters, O’Flaherty are certainly going to be there. Moylan, Martinez, Vizcaino, Sherrill, Linebrink(!), Varvaro, Teheran and now talk that Medlen might get a shot.
"First!"...Who gives a damn if you are first
Innings shouldn’t really be an issue: ~143 in 2010 and around 159 at this point in 2011. That’s a quite reasonable increase… maybe even a little light (though still just 20 years old).
"Forget Roy Halladay or Clayton Kershaw or Cliff Lee, the NL Cy Young Award should go to O’Ventrel." - David Schoenfield, ESPN.com, 8/19/11
Because Derek Lowe may be starting in the postseason and Teheran won't
You have to keep getting Lowe regular work at this point and hope he plays his way out of his funk. There is just no way Teheran can start all the way through the end of September and into October. While his inning count hasn’t gone up too much at this point, if he kept starting that long it would be there shortly.
It could be Yean instead of Jean. The Braves had a second baseman named Joel Campusano who, after a few seasons, told everyone he preferred is spelled Yoel. Even Christian Bethancourt was Betancourt when he first signed.

OT: Is rookie status the same as prospect status in the eyes of the MLB? I tried to find the innings limits on prospects, but couldn’t.

There isn’t any hard and fast definition or limitation on being a prospect. Rookie status is less than 50 innings, less than 130 plate appearances, or 45 non-September days in the Majors. Most people will take those as the guidelines for determining if someone is a prospect or not. We generally do here at TC.

sorry to bring it up again
but on Terdoslavich’s nickname, Terdo, if you know, is it pronounced Terr-doe (as in the the word “terrace” and a female deer) or Turd-oh? I assume the former.
When I saw him in Myrtle Beach and Lynchburg
The PA guys were saying it like “Ter-Dosslovich”
“Tur” as in Charles Barkley “turrible”, and then “dos” as in disk operating system, rolling into “slovich”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
And of course, there was huge mistake they made spelling Ascencio's name
“Valdez”.

Pastonicky is he as good as Gonzo in the field?
Is Pastonicky the guy that’s going to replace Gonzo in 2 more years?
He whose words outnumber his deeds, know that his death is better than his life.
Not many people are as good as Gonzo in the field.
But in a perfect world, Pastornicky would be ready to start as a major league shortstop sometime next season. He could very well be the replacement for Gonzo, as he is the surest bet at SS in our system.
Freeman isn’t on Heyward’s level in terms of tools, skills, or baseball IQ–but it’s fair to say Freeman has failed to meet the modest expectations in place for him - Capitol Avenue Club (May 28th, 2011)
Pastornicky is at best an average defender at short. He’s smart and quick, so he can pick it pretty well, but his arm is just barely adequate for the position. But, he’s good enough there and if he can hit like he has the last few years he could be a very nice starting shortstop. Personally, I think he’d be a fantastic everyday second baseman, but there’s not much chance of that happening with Uggla around.
