Talking Chop Podcast Episode 33: 2016 Minor League Recap

Episode 33 of the Talking Chop Podcast arrives on this fine Monday and Eric Cole (@leprekhan) joins the proceedings. Topics are as follows:

• The tragic passing of Jose Fernandez and how he’ll be remembered
• The Braves were red hot (before Saturday) and Brian Snitker is a popular man right now.
• Freddie Freeman’s hitting streak (and on-base streak) are alive and we fawn over his numbers
• Ozzie Albies got a positive report from his surgery
• A bunch of prospects debuted in 2016, headlined by Dansby Swanson, and we take a look back
• The Braves also added a boatload of talent from outside of the organization, and Eric provides some positives and negatives from that group
• We take your questions on players like Patrick Weigel and Lucas Sims
• Positive takeaways from 2016
• Negative takeaways from 2016
• Reckless predictions and speculation for 2017 and beyond, including a few moments you’ll want to record for later
• Finally, we close the door on the Braves having any chance at the No. 1 pick in 2017 and outline a more likely scenario
