    I dont think Philly or the Mets are better right now, Washington probably is.

    But baseball is weird, maybe some Braves pitchers breakout, and JD has an MVP type year. We just dont know. And obviously the Braves can still add some players.

    Markakis had offers for more money and more years elsewhere. But he wanted to return to the Braves.
    Anyway ... moving on from Markakis ...

    The gnats have projected to be the best team in the division since before any post-season moves were made and it is difficult to come up with a scenario that would have changed that.

    We and the Mets are pretty close right now. And fillies a bit back, with a chance to close the gap with a big signing. I think at least one WC team comes out of the NL East this year. Maybe 2, considering we play the AL Central in interleague play.

    Knew it! Anthopoulos said Snitker leading toward #Braves lineup with Inciarte, Donaldson, Freeman, Acuña cleanup and Markakis fifth. Not set in stone, but that's how leaning now.

    What I'd like to see is fairly aggressive pursuit of the platoon advantage. Among other things it might mean:

    1) Albies in leadoff against lefties, then Donaldson, Freeman, Acuna

    2) Acuna in center against lefties, with Duvall and Camargo at the corners.

    3) McCann and Flowers in a fairly standard platoon with McCann in against as many righties as he can manage.

    I'd hope they do some other things, dissapointing offseason if not.

    If that’s the case then we may get a better draft pick next year then I thought.

    It will be interesting to see if Riley goes to the outfield in ST.
