Fredi to name opening day starter and announce 1 to 4 spots in the rotation after the game today which is on ESPN....
Fuck the Braves. Phillies are taking the pennant back.
Seems like Beachy is likely to win the fifth starter job. I like it. Showcase him and then trade him midseason and bring up Minor.
Freddie got off to a fast start. He's cooled just a little, but still looking very good. It is still looking like he will turn into that every day solid first baseman that it seems like the Braves have been trying to snag for years...
That's good to hear. I know he's hyped as the next big thing (along with Heyward), so even if he's just solid, it'd be a big plus for the Braves.
The only other major questions for me headed into the season are whether McLouth can get back to his Pittsburgh form and not be a disaster in center, and if Kimbrel can handle closing duties. Venters was lights out last year, and I've read he'll co-close, but it seems like the Braves want Kimbrel to take the job.
I haven't been reading as much Braves news this year, though, and that's all probably common knowledge. Any other major storylines headed into the season?
