Chopcast: Braves continue to revamp scouting, coaching staff

With a flurry of staff-related moves and more on the horizon, the question of where the Atlanta Braves' ongoing search for a new general manager will take them is beginning to look more and more obvious.

At the news conference announcing the firing of general manager Frank Wren, the Braves brass said that no moves concerning the future of manager Fredi Gonzalez would be made until the new GM is in place. Well, the front office jumped the gun and announced Gonzalez would indeed -- not surprisingly -- return for the 2015 season.

Adding to a laundry list of moves, the organization also accepted the resignation of hitting coach Greg Walker, announced assistant hitting coach Scott Fletcher would not return and completely revamped the scouting department by bringing in outside help from Gordon Blakely and Roy Clark, both well-respected names in the scouting community.

If the organization was expected to be patient without an official GM in place, it's far ahead of schedule. It's starting to look like an in-house hire in Atlanta, the obvious leading candidate being interim GM John Hart. So what do these moves mean for the organization and what's next?
