April 20, 201412 yr Author BJ struggled after I posted this and didn't get another hit. He's still improving imo.
April 20, 201412 yr Uggla made a mistake that sorta led to the Braves losing the game. I forget what inning it was, but with runners on the corners and 1 out, the Braves were up 1. Uggla committed a huge error on a tailor-made double play ball that plated the tying run, and the score stayed tied until the Mets won it. Still, winning 2/3 on the road is not bad.
August 14, 201412 yr If you break it down by position: Catcher: Wilson Ramos/Jose Lobaton are better than Evan Gattis/Ryan Doumit First Base: Freddie Freeman is better than Adam LaRoche Second Base: Anthony Rendon is better than Dan Uggla Shortstop: Ian Desmond is better than Andrelton Simmons. (But Simmons' defense makes it closer than it would normally be.) Third Base: Ryan Zimmerman is better than Chris Johnson. Left Field: Bryan Harper is better than Justin Upton if healthy. Centerfield: Denard Span is better than B.J. Upton. Right Field: I'll call this even but Werth was much better than Heyward last season. If Heyward is healthy and lives up to his potential this would go the Braves way. Starting Rotation: Strasburg/Gonzalez/Zimmerman/Fister/Detwiler is better than Teheran/Minor/Santana/Wood/? Bullpen: Braves get the nod here. I only see the Braves being better at first base and in the bullpen. We'll look at this again in a couple of months. How we lookin' now?
