Opening Day of the 2016 MLB season is still far away, but as some look ahead, the Braves aren't feeling the love.
Fans of the Atlanta Braves did not enjoy the 2015 season, especially during the stretch run. As a result, many are simply ready to look forward to 2016 with some sense of optimism about a return to relevance. Unfortunately, David Schoenfield of ESPN does not forecast such a bounce-back.
Schoenfield put together a "way-too-early" 2016 power ranking that was released this week, and the Braves slotted in at number 29 in the league, ahead of only the Philadelphia Phillies.
