As a Braves fan, I can say that while I don't think the team will lose 90 games again this year, it is doubtful they will make the playoffs. There's just not enough offense, and some of the pitching is still a question mark. Garrett Anderson was a great signing, though, as was Derek Lowe. But the Braves are likely destined to finish third in the NL East. But hope springs eternal at the start of every new season, and it is always interesting to watch the players new to the team and see how they are going to do. I will, however, predict that Jeff Francouer will have a bounce-back season with the bat, and he'll have to for this team to have any shot at the postseason.
