Atlanta Braves will Win the NL East
Published 3/14/2008 by Zach Barnett at Bleacher Report - MLB
I think the Braves will once again win the NL East. Last year they were dismantled by injuries and front office moves to move young players, but the addition of Tex will defineitly pay greatly with him having a full season in Atlanta this year. The rotation is sound and the lineup looks good, with the new additions of Escobar, Diaz, and Kotsay. I think the Braves will contend for a NL East title and maybe even a pennant. Yes, it's going to be tough with the Mets and Phillies both improving, but i think we have what it takes to once again win the East.
