Not that favorable to Braves talent....Not that favorabel to CK's value.... http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/10074900/mlb-trade-value-rankings-part-1 http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/10080878/mlb-trade-value-rankings-part-2

I know a lot of people hate Klaw. Many think he's biased for this reason or that. But it's the offseason and I find it interesting to see his writings on Braves topics. He's an outside opinion....kinda like Gilesfan... LaStellla: Insider article but he's in his 10 most disappointing...
