LOL, thought the same thing when I saw it. But 68 wins last year as bad as they played last year I don't think 7 more i sa stretch. Offense looks good on
paper too.

Braves have 10 guys on the farm they could replace Dickey and Colon with.
They are nothing more then insurance .

Man, never saw anybody with the longevity of Colon. Isn't this guy over 20 years in the league? Performance enhancing what?

Looks like an easy under,, we will see

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker has no complaints about his team's effort through the first 24 games and believes the club is on the verge of playing as it did at the end of last season. Atlanta has been held back by a hamstring injury that landed Matt Kemp on the DL.

over, last 2 months last season already showed that their offense is capable of. Added Philips to their lineup, improved their starting rotation (even though ERA-wise they might still be bad, the way SunTrust Park is playing).
They have started out the season with a long road trip, after that they already got better. Dickey over the last couple of years always has started out slow and then thrown pretty good from the end of May to Sept. And they havent got any production from Swanson yet, Garcia has shown some improvement lately.
And the Marlins are worse than last season (after losing their #1 star pitcher), Mets will be without Syndergaard and others...I would have set their total around 76/77 wins.

You are right, but to be honest: In regards to major league ready prospects, who are likely to contribute in 2017, there isn't much: Albies/Ruiz are putting up mediocre offensive numbers at AAA and their pitching prospects are rather young and raw, Newcomb maybe being closer to getting to the big show but his control is far from good and if they want to keep developing him as a starter, he probably wont get called upon this season.
