Here is a summary of the Braves' offseason moves:-Traded Derek Lowe for salary relief and no players of consequence-Fired Larry Parrish, replaced him with Greg Walker-Nontendered Peter Moylan and Brooks Conrad-Picked up Eric Hinske's 2012 option-Let George Sherrill and Alex Gonzalez walk away as free agents-Named Tyler Pastornicky as starting shortstopNothing on that list screams "high profile" move, with the exception of the Lowe salary dump. With all the talk this offseason about trading Martin Prado, trading Jair Jurrjens, getting an impact bat...the Braves have done absolutely nothing. Here's a look at ESPN's free agent tracker, with the Braves selected as the free agent's new team. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's January 8th, and the team hasn't signed one free agent. This really isn't a bad thing, because the team is essentially saying that they're going with what brought them to the dance last year. And I don't think that...

Hudson has been the most consistent pitcher that the Atlanta Braves have had over the past 2 seasons. He has led the team in wins, ERA and innings pitched the past two seasons. When the Braves traded Derek Lowe early in the offseason, Hudson became the old man of the Braves' rotation (even the old men considering the bullpen). The Braves' projected rotation will have an...

Key Stats: Jason Heyward will break Hank Aaron’s record. In one season. Batting right-handed. The talk went something like that two years ago when Heyward, Stephen Strasburg, and Mike Stanton were all making a case to make their teams out of spring training. Only Heyward ultimately made it, and if the Braves had to do it over again perhaps they might have waited. The J-Hey Kid...

These god forsaken Adam Jones rumors JUST WON'T STOP, so I figured I'd briefly touch on them. When it comes down to Martin Prado or Adam Jones on the Braves, the two players are rather similar. Prado made $3.1 million in 2011, and has two more seasons of team control. Jones made $3.25 million, and also has two more seasons of control left. Neither player has great plate...
