It is PECOTA week over at Baseball Prospectus which would normally mean that in a normal offseason, we would be getting full season team projections. This however, is not a normal offseason. The lockout has been in place since December 2 and despite a late November flurry, many free agents remain unsigned and plenty of teams still have a ton of work left to do before the regular season begins.
With that in mind, Baseball Prospectus released its pre-lockout projections Friday and the Atlanta Braves are currently projected for an 82-80 record and a third place finish in the NL East.
