re: How bad are the Atlanta Braves?

I know you know this already, but this team is not nearly as bad as their record would reflect.

The bullpen absolutely sucks, but yeah, there's a ton of pitching prospects on the farm and the O's just aren't panicking and rushing them to save a season that essentially doesn't matter.

Injuries have been killer as well - losing Pie and Roberts has been huge. Jones and Markakis also picked a bad time to slump.

But yeah, all in all, I'm happy with where the organization is. They still need to address the corners and wait on the pitching, but the pieces are there for the next good Orioles team. and I really want them to flip Scott for something useful.
