The braves are quietly building a good team, they have added 2 veterans to their rotation and a pitcher that has had very good years to help mentor the younger players. They have also added a utility infielder, in Rodregez. He will most likely platoon at second with Peterson but he could also start anywhere else except pitcher or catcher.

They have a solid team and should be very good in a few years

Next year sign Kang to play 3rd and probably some bullpen arms as well. And sign Lance Lynn to add a young arm with experience to the team, should come at a good price but he has had injury problems.

I see in a year from now:

Lineup:
1. Enciarte CF
2. Swanson SS
3. Freeman 1st
4. Kang 3rd
5. Kemp LF
6. Flowers C
7. Markakis RF
8. Albies 2nd
9. Pitcher

Bench:
1. Tuffy/ FA C
2. Rodriguez UTL
3. Smith OF
4. Garcia 1st/ 3rd
5. Peterson 2nd/ SS

Rotation:
1. Tehran
2. Foltzy
3. Garcia
4. Lynn
5. Wisler

Bullpen:
1. Blair
2. Rameriz
3. Withrow
4. Winkler
5. Krol
6. Johnson
7. Vizcaino

This team is far from perfect but I think it gets the job done, I think upgrades the bench and the bullpen could be made but this team can compete with The Mets and Nationals, and in a few years beat them and possibly win it all.

What do you guys think? (other than spelling errors because I know that they are there but you get what I am saying and make a big deal out of it)

Now that Kang got into some league issues I don't think they sign him, they already screwed up with Oliveria but they could still go and try to sign Moose.

I don't think the Braves would waste money on Lynn when their arm is loaded with young, talented arms.

I see them signing Lynn to a cheap 2 year deal as a stop gap to let their pitching prospects develope more.
