    Suzuki is going to have so many different caps to choose from when he goes into the Hall of Fame.

    Did you see Acuna score from first? He just LOOKS sooooo fast!

    Swanson has had a good spring. Defense has looked good and power is up. If he adds those two elements to his game he’s going to be a good player.

    Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.

    I'm not against Swanson being good, or even excelling. I just don't think he'll ever be a constant plus hitter. Not with all of his right foot movement.

    I think Swanson is Mark Derosa except who can stick at short.

    Minter looked really good against three very good RH batters. Looked they had trouble recognizing pitches.

    His power is nice, but watching him run is exciting.

    If Swanson is a plus defender and base runner, then if he can be Derosa at the plate (hover between .750 -.850 OPS) then that’s a 3-4 WAR guy.

    Definitely noticed a trend this spring where the Braves are running a lot. I really hope this a continuing trend once the season starts.

    Glancing at the box score. Who the hell is C. Colon, and why does he have as many RBI as Acuna? How DARE he

    Suzuki is hitting .476 with an ops of 1.119. If he and flowers can duplicate last season again, we have a chance to be pretty good

    The addition of Eric Young Sr. to the staff is paying dividends it seems.

    He's been a lot better than Culberson this spring... just doesn't have as much position flexibility sadly. I think Colon is the better hitter.

    I feel like we might like this team a lot more with AA’s leadership.
