With Lowe, Vasquez, Jerrgiens, Kamtaza (sp), Campillio and Hudson when he gets healthy?

The braves usually have pretty decent pitching, but what Ive noticed is that the pitchers cant get any run support.

I think they have a chance for a real good rotation. Just like Sarge said, can they score? I’d like to see them in the mix in the NL.

Its all going to depend on Franceour.  If he can come back strong they have a chance.

The braves dont have a power hitter so they wont win that many games.

If Chipper can put 1 more healthy full season together, Francoeur get’s his grove back, and McCann keeps his stick hot they have a chance. The bullpen has to stay healthy and be effective and these new starting pitchers have to pitch well early….

For the Braves to stand a chance of competing they need to avoid the injury plague that has been over them the last couple years. 
2nd The starting pitchers need to start going deeper into games and Chipper/Francoeur need to be healthy/Productive.

I think the Braves’ time is done.  They should have cashed in on a few more World Series than just that one. 

Mark Wohlers is my favorite Braves Pitcher by the way (Ref. to 1996 World Series!!)

I will go ahead and say that the Braves will make the wild card this year if they can just get some run support.
