Matt and Eric are joined by the newest member of the Talking Chop masthead to jump into the fray on the minor league side in Doc Herbert (co-host of the Platinum Sombrero podcast....make sure you subscribe to that podcast for even more Braves minor league goodness). Rather than going through a complete rundown of the who is on the Talking Chop Top 30 (which is pretty easy to find and read for oneself), consider this podcast a shorter companion piece where we talk about the difficulties in compiling our individual lists, the surprises that came out in the final product, and what changes we expect we may be making by midseason.

This week we dive deep into some listener questions, and the subject of draft strategy was of particular interest. Whether a review of prior drafting tactics, recent draftees, or future targets the discussion was quite interesting as Eric, Matt and Garrett host the day. Ian Anderson was a major topic of discussion as well, as the viability of his arsenal was called up for debate. So give us a listen as we take on another mailbag show on Road To Atlanta.

We are BACK, welcome to the return of the Road To Atlanta podcast. We had to go a man down with Gaurav out this week, but our fearless host Eric Cole rallied the troops and Matt and Garrett joined him for a discussion of the minor leagues. With the recent Rule 5 draft there was plenty of things to talk about, with 40 man roster additions and a couple of minor league selections going down for the Braves. We also said goodbye to a few long time Braves prospects who may be leaving us in free agency and where they may find themselves in the coming season. The biggest news in the minor league circuit was the proposed contraction of 42 minor league teams, and we had a lengthy discussion about our concerns, minor league salaries, and the impact this could have on minor leagues players for the future.

After more than a week of relative silence from the Atlanta Braves, the Talking Chop Podcast came together for a nice, quiet mailbag episode on Sunday.

With that as the backdrop, Episode 199 is here Breaking down the decision to sign Hamels to a lucrative, but short contract How does the veteran left-hander compare to other options and what can fans expect for 2020? What about the payroll now? What happens to Josh Donaldson?

Eric Cole and Scott Coleman convene (without Brad) in emergency fashion to break down the signing of Will Smith.
