"�Q: What is the biggest strength of the Braves minor league system? The biggest weakness?
A: Biggest strength is the pitching depth - Hanson, Locke, Teheran, Rohrbough, Delgado (well, both Delgados), DeVall, Stovall, Kimbrell, Spruill � they�re well-positioned to stock the big-league club with arms for the next five to seven years, and given what�s in the draft pool this year, the odds are that they�ll add another top-flight arm to the mix in June.
The obvious weakness is the lack of infield prospects, but I think there�s a bigger organizational weakness: their excessive loyalty to certain players. Jeff Francoeur should have been non-tendered, and instead they�re taking him to arbitration, even though he�s about the worst �everyday� player in the game and seems to blame everyone but himself for his horrendous play."
