Haha so here we are, March 30th and I haven't blogged in quite some time. The Braves didn't sign Adam Dunn and Anthony Grant is in Tuscaloosa. But Spring Training is almost over and the Braves have the second best record in the Grapefruit League at 20-18 and have alot to be excited about. Earlier in the month the Braves signed veteran outfielder Garrett Anderson to fill the whole in left field as well as in the middle of the lineup. Anderson is a career .296 hitter and you can usually count on 15 plus homers and 80 plus rbis. Last year he hit .293 with 15 bombs and 84 ribbies. The Braves traded away prospect Josh Anderson to clean up a crowded outfield and make way for emerging star Jordan Schafer. He is considered one of the Braves top prospects overall and has 20/20 potential. Hes hit .373 this spring with 5 stolen bases. He will man center field to open the season. But maybe the most encouraging news of the spring will have to wait until May or June. Tommy Hanson, the Braves prized pitching prospect will start the year in Triple A. He had a lights out spring and Bobby Cox raves about him. Cox says his slider reminds him of John Smoltz's and Hanson dominated the minor leagues last year and became the first pitcher ever to win the Arizona Fall League MVP. His dominance carried over to this spring and its only a matter of time before the Braves call him up. The Braves open up all of baseball Sunday night on ESPN against the defending World Champion Phillies. Hamels isn't going to start so maybe big game pitcher Derek Lowe can get the Bravos off to a good start and steal a game up in Philly. See you Sunday but be sure to watch Baseball Tonight all season long!
