Vote: Atlanta Braves Season Preview


Atlanta Braves
2004 Record: 96-66
Key Adds: Tim Hudson, Brian Jordan, Danny Kolb, Raul Mondesi
Key Losses: J.D. Drew, Eli Marrero, Russ Ortiz, Jaret Wright
Manager: Bobby Cox

If a coin lands heads 99 times in a row, the odds that the next flip comes up tails are still 50-50. Predicting the NL East isn't quite as random, but it's unwise to pick against the Braves simply because they seem due to finally come up short. Will Andruw Jones explode? Are John Smoltz and Tim Hudson baseball's best duo? Tell us what you think.
  • 1) Where will the Braves finish in the NL East?
  • 2) Oddsmakers set the over/under on Braves wins at 89.5. How many games will they win?
  • 3) Which team has the best one-two punch at the top of its rotation?
  • 4) Will Danny Kolb be an effective closer this season?
  • 5) Last season, the Braves got 48 home runs and 165 RBI from corner outfielders J.D. Drew, Charles Thomas and Eli Marrero. What can they expect this season from Brian Jordan, Raul Mondesi and Ryan Langerhams?
  • 6) Andruw Jones hit 10 home runs this spring after changing his stance on the advice of Willie Mays. Is he primed for a career year?
