As part of season reviews for major league players and top prospect rankings for minor league players, we here at Talking Chop thought it would be a fun idea to get all of our bloggers together with the help of Google Docs and debate the various aspects of each position in the Braves organization. The participants are, yours truly (gondeee, indicated by MG), yondaime4 (indicated by MF), royhobbs (indicated...

It seems an odd bit of news, but FoxSports reported today that they’ve heard two different stories about the Yankees bullpen plans. Some say the Yankees are interested in Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano. Some say the Yankees are content to stay in house. I have to think both are true. Like with making a call to the Blue [...] Click on the headline for the rest of this blog post ...

Not a surprise , as Theo Epstein said . He may end up back in Fenway, but at age 31, Bay wants to see what is out there in the free agent waters. Terry Francona held court on a number of matters, including Bay: He has earned the right to be a free agent. This is his first time, and he wants to see it through. You know we're going to be a major player. We always are. Do I hope it gets done? Yeah. The...

According to Ken Rosenthal via MLB Trade Rumors , he's been getting mixed signals from people around baseball. The team, according to one rival executive, plans to pursue free-agent relievers Rafael Soriano, a right-hander, and Mike Gonzalez, a lefty. The Yankees have liked both pitchers in the past. However, another source with knowledge of the Yankees' thinking says the team prefers to address any...

An MLB executive tells Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports that the Yankees plan to pursue free agent relievers Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez. However, another source tells Rosenthal that the Yanks intend to develop relievers from within the organization. Both relievers are Type A free agents, so they would cost a draft pick if the Braves offer arbitration. The Yankees might to prefer to wait until December...

Alright, so I know most of the discussion so far about the offseason has involved our free agents ( John Lackey , Chone Figgins , Vladimir Guerrero , and Darren Oliver ), big hitting free agents ( Jason Bay & Matt Holliday ), and trades (anyone remember a discussion about Curtis Granderson ?), but there has not been much discussion about other free agents on the market which could really help our...

by David J. Phillip - AP Will the Hawk be back in Houston? View full size photo » We already covered the basics of the reliever market with Jose Valverde 's profile, so I thought the most illuminating thing to do with Hawkins is to see which teams might actually need a closer this winter. That, of course, is going to be the difference in him signing for 5-7 million and 2-3 million. Hawkins has...

The Boston Red Sox are looking at the medical records of Braves relievers Gozalez and Soriano. Mike Gonzalez recenty signed on with Scott Boras and is a Type A free agent. He posted a 2.42 ERA with 90 K's in 80 games last season. Rafael Soriano had an ERA of 2.97 and 27 saves last season. Wagner might sign elsewhere and Manny Delcarmen seems to be someone mentioned in every trade rumor, so the Red...

Plenty to absorb this morning, baseball fans: The Red Sox have asked the Braves for medical records of free agent relievers Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano, according to the New York Post. WEEI.com also notes that catcher George Kottaras has been released. Chan Ho Park wants to be a starter, while the Phillies, most other teams, and the results on the field see him as a reliever. Todd Zolecki also...

Browse more photos » If Rafael Soriano was the Atlanta Braves closer that came out of the gate strong and finished poorly, then Mike Gonzalez is the opposite -- the closer who started out poorly and finished strong. Gonzalez was in the co-closer role out of spring training, but he was clearly favored by Bobby Cox to get the lions...
