Braves will have a good offense and defense. Going to come down to the pitching.

I'm going to wait on judging the young starters... I know I'd be amped up being a part of a rotation right out of camp my rookie year. Especially in a place like Philly in that crowd on opening day after they acquired the world.
Fun game to watch even if we did get helped out by errors and the Cubs leaving men on base.
The pen going 5 innings with ZERO BB's and Ozzie getting 2 doubles left handed were my highlights.

Remember when Ronald started ice cold and everyone (including us), thought he had no chance at ROY? That’s how I feel about our young starters. I feel they will get better as the year goes....they better. One or two of them taking off is what AA has gambled on.

All true. I just thought with the Braves paying Markakis what they did, the market for Jones would be slightly more lucrative than it turned out to be. Jones' defense seems to have fallen off as much or more than his bat. His reverse splits may have scared off folks looking for a true RHH for the bench. That said, he can at least stand in CF without making a fool of himself. He's in a hitters' park, so it will be interesting to see if his power numbers hold up.
The game last night reminded me of how impossible it is to win less than 40 games in a season.
