| STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES |
Strengths: They have a great firstbasemen in Hale, so don't expect much to change there. Shortstop Felix Martinez is a fixture on this team. With guys like Ramirez, Drew and Beltran, the Atlanta Braves have one of the best outfields in baseball. Weaknesses: Management would like to find someone to play catcher for them. Looks like they need two quality starters in the rotation. |
