Atlanta Braves 2012 Season

Atlanta Braves have a great shot at making the playoffs in the 2012 season. Their team has been getting better over the last few years. The positive part about the Braves organization is that they bring up some up the top prospects in the country. Three to five years ago they had some of the best recruits in baseball. Even though these players were very young and immature at the time and could not make it the playoffs, they have shown signs of maturity. These young prospects that we have been watching for the last several years, are now turning into the veterans that we need to make it to the playoffs. Most of them were coached by one of the best coaches in all of Major League Baseball (MLB) and were taught more than a lot of other players to ever play the game. The Braves have also made a few transactions in the offseason that will help the ball club. Fortunately for the organization, they have one of the best pitching rotations in the MLB. In the game of baseball, pitching is the key to winning games. If you have a great pitching staff then it is hard for the other team to produce an offense and score runs against you. They also kept Chipper Jones which is the heart and soul of the ball club today. He is getting a lot older and starting to get injured more frequently, but he is still putting up the numbers to be an Atlanta Brave. Not only does he help our offense tremendously, but he is also a mentor to a lot of the younger players on the team. With all of these combined factors; I feel that the Braves are a very strong team and have a lot of potential to be World Champions this year.
