Braves GM Frank Wren said on MLB Network Radio on Tuesday that the team hopes right-hander Tim Hudson will be ready for opening day following surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back in late November.The Sports Xchange recently reported Hudson's back feels good and he expects to be ready for spring training. The news comes just one day after the Braves re-signed left-handed pitcher Eric O'Flaherty and righty Jair Jurrjens. Hudson had a strong 2011 season posting a record of 16-10, with an earned run average of 3.22. He's set to make $9 million in 2012.

Are the Waves of Pitching Talent Breaking?

Via Chop-N-Change  |  January 18, 2012
When I wrote about the Braves’ pitching depth last year, I mentioned that the best thing about the Braves’ pitching depth was that it was coming in waves. Almost a year later, it’s time to re-examine the starting rotation and ask whether or not the depth is still there. We’ve already seen some turnover this off-season, and we even expect a little more. Derek Lowe was...

Braves reach deals with Bourn, Jurrjens

Via AP on Fox  |  January 17, 2012
The Atlanta Braves have avoided arbitration by agreeing to one-year contracts with outfielder Michael Bourn, starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens and reliever Eric O'Flaherty. Terms of the deals announced Tuesday haven't been released. Bourn, who made $4.4 million last year, gave the Braves a much-needed leadoff hitter when he was acquired from Houston in July just ahead of the...

Dan Uggla Is Weird, Man

Via Chop-N-Change  |  January 19, 2012
To say that last season was a roller coaster for Dan Uggla would be a compliment to any roller coaster. After a disastrous start that saw him hitting .170 at the beginning of June and under .200 until July 27th, Uggla went on a 33-game hitting streak that saw his average climb to .237. The awful start coined the term #Struggla, and he was a punchline until the hitting streak really...

Braves Bring Back Peter Moylan

Via Rant Sports  |  January 18, 2012
The Atlanta Braves non-tendered Peter Moylan a couple months ago due to his increasing salary and his injuries. He has been a fan favorite for the Braves. (If you are not following him on Twitter, I would recommend it. He is very entertaining). The Braves had expressed interest in bringing him back, but they could not do so at the $2 million + he was set to make, because of budgetary...

Bourn, who saw his salary raise from $4.4 million to $6.845 on Tuesday, led the National League for the third straight season with 61 stolen bases.

Tommy Hanson Player Projection No. 86

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  January 18, 2012
Key Stats: The Atlanta Braves have a history of churning out quality pitchers and Hanson is no exception. He doesn't have the win total you would expect from an ace pitcher, but at 25, and not yet having pitched 3 full seasons in the majors, you have to be blown away at the other numbers Hanson has put up. His career 3.28 ERA is backed up by a career 3.46 FIP. His K/9 each season...

Via Rant Sports  |  January 18, 2012
I posted a review of the players that were eligible for arbitration on Monday afternoon. The deadline to pass figures was yesterday at noon. The Atlanta Braves had three players remaining that they needed to work out a deal with by yesterday afternoon. They signed Eric O’Flaherty on Monday night to a one year deal worth $2.49 million contract for one year. The deal was almost...
