There's enough talent to make the future bright, the turnaround nearly inevitable. Best of all, it has a chance to happen quickly. Young players don't come with guarantees or timetables, but there's safety in numbers.
That's what the Braves now have, and that was true even before Tuesday's head-turning deal involving 25-year-old right-hander Shelby Miller. In a whirlwind year, Braves general manager John Coppolella has added gifted young players up and down the Minor League ladder. The Braves don't just have talent, they have loads of it -- from left-handers Sean Newcomb and Max Fried to right-handers Tyrell Jenkins and Touki Toussaint and a long list of others.
