Well Opening day is upon us and its time for the new year. Basically its a almost completely new roster. We did restock the farm system with all of these moves so watching the minors might be more exciting this year.

Up 1-0 on Marlins in opener, going to bottom of 2nd.

They also traded OF Victor Reyes for the 75th overall pick in this year's draft.

I really don't understand the off-season fire sale. I'm a casual fan and I won't pretend to know the inner workings of the Braves. But, it seems like we were about 3 pieces from a REALLY good team. We needed a consistent catcher and center fielder. And one really good starting pitcher.

2-0 after the bats took down the Marlins. Wood with the win. 7 runs in the first inning led the way.

Braves don't look too bad this year for a rebuilding team.

The pitching has been (and always was going to be) fantastic. The question going into the season was if we would score or lose 3-1 every game. If the bats surprise, we could still have a good year, but I'm not expecting us to sustain a good offense.

Can't argue with a 3-0 start and a sweep of the Fish. Was very impressed with our bullpen in this series and the offense was great in the game on Tuesday. I just bought tickets to see the Braves play in D.C. next month when I'm going to be up there visiting a friend. Have any of you been to that ballpark before, and if so, what did you think?

Also, in a tweet from the team.

quote:
Braves have selected the contract of RHP Sugar Ray Marimon & have designated RHP Juan Jaime for assignment. Marimon will wear number 54.
It will be interesting if Jaime clears waivers or not.

I don't see how he will. The stuff is unreal. The command...not so much.

Same post as yesterday, except trade Cahill for Stults. Offense starting to act as expected.

Braves fall again at Stults continues to struggle. Looking like he was the wrong veteran to choose.

Miller loses a no-hitter with two outs in the 9th, Braves still sweep the Marlins. So close!!

The Braves sure are winning the Heyward trade so far. Miller looks like he could be the #1 starter for a long time. Hopefully this ends up being the Wainright/Drew trade in reverse.

Here's a good article about where things stand with all the off season deals so far. The future looks bright...
