    They got rid of Renteria. So, I say yes.

    Prado can play either SS or 2B. I'd like to see them trade Diaz for minor leaguer or two, move Kelly Johnson to LF, & let Prado and Escobar be the middle infielders.

    Definitely. Who else do we have?

    This year has me sort of excited. With the young guys around, Chipper still here, Teixiera as the power hitter, a pretty good pitching staff, and Franceour and McCann expected to come into their own...wow, I can't wait.

    Not to mention Glavine has come home. If Hampton can stay healthy then the Braves could make some real noise.

    Don't forget Teixeira has faced Johan before... just something to think about.

    That's a huge IF. I've rarely seen Hampton play...although one of the times I did get to see him, he hit a home run. [​IMG]

    And I'm really liking the Teixiera trade. He's a good "replacement" for Andruw as our main power hitter.
