and an Atlanta Brave.
THE OFFENSE
We have The Venezuelan Trout locked up in left. He is a top 5 player in the game right now.
We have 1 of 2 elite 1B in the game today locked up.
Our 2B is young, cheap, and good.
Our shortstop is young, cheap, and appears to have gotten better.
Donaldson is a stop gap until we get to 1 of the top 5 or so power bats in the minors: Austin Riley.
The CF spot is being held down by a Gold Glover until we get Pache up here, and Pache's could be Dominican Kevin Pillar or better.
Drew Waters and William Contreras are really coming along at C and corner outfield.
THE PITCHING
We have some young guys who could be really good in time.
Start with Folty.
Then you've got Fried, who looks excellent.
Gausman is solid.
Then we've got Kyle Wright, Touki Toussaint, Bryse Wilson, Luiz Gohara, Ian Anderson, et al. I think 1 or 2 of those guys will be quality major league starters.
CONCLUSION
We are Southerners.
We love the red, white, and blue. We love trickle-down economics. We appreciate Wal-Mart, KFC, Coca-Cola, Chik-Fil-A, and Hardee's.
We love college football in the fall. We love baseball in the summer. NASCAR on Sunday afternoons.
Lemonade on the back porch listening to prime Alan Jackson or Kenny Chesney. Maybe throw in a bit of Chingy, Luda, and Outkast if we want to get funky.
We work hard. We party hard.
We appreciate nature. We have dogs and cattle and admire beautiful women.
Our heros are named Chipper. John. Greg. Tom. Deion. Andruw.
We grew up going to little league practice and wagging our bat like Gary Sheffield.
And we love our Braves, and we will defend them to the very end, so help us God!!
