The second week of the 2015 Major League Baseball season is underway, and arguably the biggest surprise in the entire sport is the Atlanta Braves.
They enter play Wednesday at 6-2. In case you haven't checked the standings yet this early on, that gives Atlanta the best record in the National League East—a division that was supposed to be ruled by the Washington Nationals, the on-paper favorites—as well as in all of the Senior Circuit.
This is the very same Braves organization that, don't forget, embarked upon a tear-it-down-and-start-all-over rebuild this offseason under new president of baseball operations John Hart, who officially took over in October for the roundly criticized Frank Wren, who had been fired in September.
