We do not have a hole in CF. We just have a bad player. If you think the braves are going to do anything with him your mistaken.
At this point I don't know what to think about 2B. I think wren will bring in some type of vet to play.
We have a very large hole in the rotation. IMO.

here is what he said about LeStalla
I don’t see why Braves Tommy La Stella can’t play 2B for the Braves at some point in the coming season. He’s a gritty, hustling contact hitter.
If the braves can get an established second baseman and lock up Freeman, Heyward, and others then thats fine. But if getting someone that will cost a lot over the next few years and not let us lock up some guys then no, just go with LeStalla and be done with it.
Wren is going to get 1 SP one way or the other. No way can Beachy and Wood both start out in this rotation. IMO he looks for 2. 1 via FA and 1 via trade.
The braves eventually have to sign Freeman, Heyward and who ever else they feel the need to keep long term. Who should the braves go get? Kindrick? Say bye to Medlen. Kinsler? Say bye to Medlen+. Phillips? Say buy to Uggla+a player we don't want to trade.
TLS playing 2b and batting 8th is not...
If the braves don't get Hudson to come back I can see then talking to JJ. I still think they will call the Brewers about Loshe aswell though. I think Wren will be adding 2 SPs this offseason (and I am including Hudson being a "new" SP).
As for Chavez I think he would be a good add to the bench...
I can see C-mart being Non-tendered. 7th man in the pen coming off an injury not really a tough call. Venters is a different story. Power lefty that has been dominant in the past. Its worth the risk to pay him a few million to see how he comes back from injury
