08:19 AM ET 11.15 | While the hot stove continued to warm in advance of GMs meeting in Orlando this week, Frank Wren and the Braves are more than willing to talk -- though perhaps not if it means parting with their young pitchers. The Braves have expressed previous interest in [Dan] Uggla, but that was before Martin Prado became an All-Star second baseman. ... Other teams reportedly interested in Uggla, including Toronto, might be a better trade partner than the Braves, who aren't likely to part with any of their top players or prospects, especially not to a division rival. The Blue Jays have young pitching they're willing to trade. On Friday, Wren reiterated that the Braves are reluctant to trade young pitchers or top prospects, regardless of position.

I'm pretty sure Uggla is a fit for just about every team since he could play 2nd, 3rd or even LF.

Uggla is a great option for a lot of teams, but he'll be a FA in 2012. So that decreases his value substantially

His UZR last year was -7.6. As a comparison, Jeter was a -4.7 and Robinson Cano is a -.7 (which is his best year). So, Uggla's defense is pretty substandard.

I bet fielding % shows much the same thing and is a more "honest" #...

Do you think every player that hit 30 homers is a roid muncher.... or is it just the players you don't like.... I've never even heard of any speculation of this...

You must have missed the memo that UZR is the new OPS. Everyone's building their teams based on it.
