That doesn't mean I can't be excited and ready for it.

Nice job Hart and Coppy.

[K26dp 4,627]

Fantastic extension!

[Psychic Gibbon 41,701]

Best news of the offseason so far.

[Ransack 2,768]

Good deal for both sides. Controlled salary for the club and guaranteed money for Inciarte.

[Ransack 2,768]

I drove by the new stadium last night and they were testing the new scoreboard. It looked pretty sweet from what I could see.

[ATLBrave 3,254]

What time did you drive by and from which way? Would imagine they are doing lighting tests on it.

75 South around 6:15pm. You can only see maybe the top half of the screen in places.

First concert at SunTrust will be April 28 by Billy Joel.

Georgia State is now the official owner of Turner Field. Here's a rendering of how it will look

That's a really good deal. There's virtually no downside at those prices.

Really is. Even if he is just league average with the bat and keeps his elite defense, can't really go wrong at those numbers.

That looks very very weird. But so glad the stadium isn't being torn down.

Braves announce the 2017 bobbleheads. They'll be Colon, Inciarte, Freeman, Kemp and Swanson. 

[K26dp 4,627]

Something to keep an eye on, maybe the last chance for the Braves to spend on a significant talent on the international market before penalties kick in.

 

[Unknøwn 10,637]

Ender's bobblehead will be up first and it will be of his leaping over the wall catch at Citi Field. 

[Unknøwn 10,637]

Braves announced Hank Aaron will be honored with a statue at SunTrust. He'll also get a terrace featuring the bat and ball from HR #715 and a bat sculpture.

According to a John Coppellela interview with Fangraphs, the Alex Jackson move to catcher is happening.

Interesting. Want to know something pretty cool, on one of my Braves franchises I ended up trading for Alex Jackson because the OSFM rosters had him rated as a B prospect.
