The Atlanta Braves had a great season in 2011 end on a sour note when an awful September collapse(led the Wild Card by 8.5 games on September 6th) saw their season come up a win short in the final day of the campaign. The team is set at several spots featuring a good mix of [...]
Julio Teheran was picked as the fourth best prospect in baseball by MLB.com. He’s in pretty select company because the only guys ahead of him were Matt Moore, Bryce Harper and Mike Trout. Teheran finished 15-3 at Triple-A but one of his problems is, he’s not a big strikeout guy. He had 122 strikeouts in [...]
I’ve always been a Dale Murphy fan and his time is running short. With him getting less then 20% on the Hall of Fame ballot, it doesn’t look like he’s getting in but let’s look at why Murphy might be considered. The case for Murphy is that he was one of the best hitters in [...]
The Braves didn’t offer contracts to Peter Moylan and Brooks Conrad and in effect, turned them into free agents. With Moylan, they would have had to sign him for around $2 million and it looks like they thought they can go lower then that and still compete with any other interested teams. Moylan missed most [...]
It’s funny how one of the top picks for better teams in the Rule 5 drafts are left handed relief pitchers. That’s what the Braves used for their pick when they scooped up Robert Fish from the Angels. Fish has to play with the team the entire season or they give him back to the [...]

The 2011 Atlanta Braves will be remembered for blowing an 8.5 game wild card lead in September in the seasons final moments  but this team won 89 games and returns in 2012 with very few holes. The pitching is deep and the lineup has only one open position(Shortstop) heading into the winter. The bullpen, in [...]
The Atlanta Braves saw their worst nightmare unfold Wednesday August 28th as they lost 4-3 in 13 innings to the Philadelphia Phillies,opening the door for the hard charging St. Louis Cardinals, who destroyed the Houston Astros 8-0, to capture the National League Wild Card. Incredibly, the Braves entered the month of September with an 8.5 [...]

These organization reviews are great to read if you see your team and “deep system stocked with pitching and several strong position players” in the same column. The best place to start is the top as Frederick Freeman and Tommy Hanson were your hitting and pitching organizational players of the year. Freeman hit .316 and [...]
