Shouldn't be a guy named Shae on this team anyway.

The #Braves have signed Eric Young Jr. to a Minor League deal. He'll battle Almonte for that platoon role in LF w/ Gomes.

Per Fangraphs the Braves have 11 of the top 200 prospects, which is tied with the Cubs for the most in baseball

Thanks for the breakdown.
Looking forward and if the goal is to be competitive by 2017, who are some of the big time free agent bats coming available over the next 2 years that we will be targeting?
The pitching staff should be fine with the young arms we have acquired and the ones already in the system. I think its pretty obvious that we will need someone to protect Freeman by 17 if not a couple of guys.

We should be good with pitching now. We should also be pretty set at all the infield positions with Freeman, Peraza, Simmons, Ruiz (Peterson), and Bethancourt. I'm assuming with Uggla's money coming off the books after this year that we could sign a nice LF or CF. Those seem to be the big holes right now.
I'd be interested as well to see which LF/CF are free agents after this year.

At least we should have some more contact and fewer K's. But CJ batting cleanup and the 6-9 combo are going to be tough to watch.

Some chatter that the Braves are interested in Jackie Bradley Jr. Would probably take one of the arms they just acquired to get it done.
