Freddie at Furst-check
Ozzie at Second-check
Colon at Third?/Schimpf/Ruiz?
Swanson or Camargo at SS?
What y’all think?

No Jeff Blauser?
Camargo at third. Boy is a beast on the rise. Can do it all, except hit for power. Was basically a .300 hitter last year with really good fielding. I don't know why the Braves seem so eager to displace him at 3B.
I think the issue with Camargo last year was that his performance at lower levels in the minors hadn't shown that level of performance so there was a sense of is this real, is it sustainable? I totally agree with you that he should be at 3rd. If Dansby struggles then Camargo can also be an insurance policy at SS. My money is on Camargo manning the hot corner until Riley is ready.
No sir. Rafael Ramirez all day. Horner at Third.
Camargo will be at 3B and Swanson at SS. Swanson needs to prove a lot this year in my mind. Hasn't lived up to the hype at all.
Bring back Lemke and Blauser, with Horner and Fred McGriff on the corners!
No T-P at third?
Braves are solid in the infield, except for third base. Think Camargo will start season at third, backed up by Ruiz. Would like to see Riley called up later in season if he keeps progressing in minors. Can't wait to see Acuna playing in majors. Some of our young starting pitchers should be ready to join the rotation. If Tehran doesn't put it together this year, it may be time for him to move on.
Unfortunately, we are going to use up all of Teheran's good years during these "rebuilding" years. By the time the Braves are competitive he'll be an old man by MLB standards. Need the young pitching to step up, if we want Julio to reap any rewards for being stuck in Atlanta this long. 27 is the age in which most pitchers are at their peak, and will then begin to regress, and that's how old Julio is.
I’m just glad this years rotation has a solid 2 and 3.
I have no clue who will emerge as the 1.
That buffet buster in the rotation last year basically got paid to be a mascot.
GO LEMKE ! We'll need his big bat come playoff time.
Biff Pocoroba catching?
My favorite player back in the day. God, those were some awful teams!
Biff catching Knuxie
My ATF Braves we’re Crime Dog, Horner, Murph, Claudell Washington
I'm not sure we have any truly solid starters. Even Julio has questions.
Where are the consistently good 200 plus inning guys ?
This is the year we need to see some starters deliver.
For perspective.
Name the starters you trust to pitch close to 200 innings and have an ERA under 4.00.
