Default Braves Opening Day Count Down

93 Days till opening day, not much movement by the Bravo's in the off season. the team didn't exercise their 2012 option on Nate McClouth.

Hope for the day:

The Rotation stays Healthy!!

Nate McClouth had only one good year I think. It was when he was a Pirate. Only reason I remember is because I had him one season in a fantasy baseball league (the year after he did good), and he was horrible the following year. LOL!

I would say Chipper's health and Uggla's batting avg to start the season.

Does your team need an outfielder? Im sure the Angels will pay $50 million of the remaining $64 million on the contract for Vernon Wells to get rid of him. LOL!

good points key2win

2 pieces of the puzzle, a healthy starting rotation that can give a lot of innings will be a key asset too

I'm excited to see the Braves caravan when they come to town. I can't wait to find out who is coming. They are coming to Augusta, GA on Feb. 1.

Well I just saw this on Yahoo right now. Its the only news on the Braves for today.

Braves reach deal with OF Prado, re-sign IF Wilson - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Quote:
The Atlanta Braves avoided arbitration with outfielder Martin Prado, agreeing Friday to a $4.75 million contract for 2012, and also brought back utility infielder Jack Wilson with a scaled-down deal.

Prado, who made $3.1 million last season, is a versatile player who could be the long-term replacement at third base when Chipper Jones retires. He moved to left field in 2011 and slumped a bit, batting .260 with 13 homers and 57 RBIs. Before that, he had three straight years hitting above .300.

Wilson agreed to a $1 million, one-year contract that also includes the chance to earn $500,000 in performance bonuses. He made $5 million last season.
