Hello, everyone. The Talking Chop Podcast arrives with Episode 145 and this particular shows drops a bit earlier than expected. It’s the offseason and, well, that means flexibility but, more importantly, JJ Cooper of Baseball America joins the program this week to discuss a number of things surrounding the Atlanta Braves.

JJ was the lead on BA’s list of top 10 Braves’ prospects, which they unveiled this week. You should absolutely read it before listening to the episode and topics for the show include the following:

How close are Atlanta’s top 7 or 8 prospects and how is it different without a definite No. 1 in the post-Ronald Acuña era?

What goes into the making of Baseball America’s team prospect rankings

Drew Waters and Cristian Pache are compared quite often... and that includes this podcast

The growth of Austin Riley as a prospect and what his future may hold

The Braves have a ton of pitching prospects and they have some interesting decisions to make

Much, much more
