Notes:

Maybe it's just me but the Braves look a touch vulnerable this year. They are very strong up the middle, but for whatever reason have been unable (or unwilling) to find the big bats at positions some teams take for granted.
Paul Bako == Jorge Fabregas?
Marcus Giles could be a solid player for the Braves very soon.
There are teams with worse starting catchers than Jesse Levis.
