Current starting Line-Up
C Javy Lopez 1B Richie Sexson 2B Marcus Giles 3B Troy Glaus SS Rafael Furcal LF Chipper Jones CF Torii Hunter RF Gary Sheffield
Pitchers: SP John Smoltz SP Russ Ortiz SP Dontrelle Willis SP Mike Hampton SP Greg Maddux MR Brendan Donnelly MR Francisco Cordero MR Travis Phelps CL Ray King
Team Strengths: -Big bats -Infield defense -Base running -All-Around solid line-up -All-Around Pitching
Richie Sexon, Javy Lopez, Chipper Jones, Gary Sheffield, Troy Glaus, Torri Hunter all guys that can hit it out the park. Rafael Furcal is a great defensive SS that should also get 20-30+ SBs on the year.
Team Weaknesses: - Farm System
With top prospects CF Jeff Franceour, C Brian McCann and SP Bubba Nelson being dealt away the Braves farm system takes a huge hit.
Franchise player(s): SP Dontrelle Willis RF Gary Sheffield SP John Smoltz 3B Troy Glaus CF Torii Hunter LF Chipper Jones
Dontrelle can and may very well be a top 10 pitcher in the league. Gary will always be Gary, and at 36-37 Smoltz is on of the top pitchers in the game.
Trade Block: Not really looking for anything... maybe looking to deal off Maddux and maybe top prospect SS Kelly Johnson for a big upgrade at SP.
Outlook: Win the division and World Series.

King's 0.00 ERA with 5 saves and 6 Ks in 6 games out. I ain't fixing what ain't broke. His opponent's batting average is sick too. LHB are 0 and 5 against him. RHB are 1 and 17.
