GDT 4/3 braves vs mets

McAlpin: Since 1974, Nick Markakis has the highest career average (.356, 104x292) in game opening plate appearances among all players. #Braves
 
I swear that sometime this offseason, Fredi said Flowers would get most of the reps at C.

He did say that and I said, well I'll believe it when I see it. Flowers outhit and obviously did everything else better than AJP who's been as bad as ever yet still not the case. Crazy.
 
Mallex has had some blunders defensively so far, but on the whole he's exceeded my expectations. Seems like he can stick in CF and do well enough to be an an everyday regular, even if he ends up as a bottom of the order hitter.

Smith is still improving and despite his blunders he's been quite good overall in CF. He can make up for some of his misreads with his great speed and has a number of times thus far. I really hope we keep both he and Inciarte and play one in RF and the other in CF. Inciarte plus arm will help us anywhere we put him. But having both Smith and Inciarte will make for a similar OF to the Royals on defense as long as whomever is in left isn't terrible.
