What to make of the Atlanta Braves is anyone’s guess.
Their lineup is powerful from top to bottom, but key pieces are fragile. They have some exciting young arms in the rotation, but some of those key arms are fragile.
Put it all together and what do we get? We get an Atlanta Braves team that has a high ceiling and both the bats and arms to keep up…but also a team fragile enough that a season can be quickly derailed. Atlanta got a double-whammy of this last year when Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his other ACL, and strikeout artist Spencer Strider needed Tommy John surgery.
