Happy New Years, Braves?

Happy New Years guys! Hope everyone had a wonderful time! I sure didn't. One of my resolutions is to start posting more often for you people out there that aren't actually there. Today, I am starting up the prediction series. I have already reviewed the Diamondbacks and today we get to look at the Atlanta Braves.

First off, the Atlanta Braves finished 3rd in their division going under .500. However, they did start off strong and did well for the first part of the season. This season the Braves traded Jayson Heyward who was arguably their best player. He had lots of power when on offense and an outstanding outfielder. Did this one decision ruin their team?

I think it did not, but it will be tough for them to go anywhere in their division. However, the Braves have made positive trades this year. They have acquired Alberto Callapso for one year. With Alberto I think this year they can use him to their advantage and do well. Also, the Braves have good pitching and if they can continue to have good defense and pitching they have a chance.

I think in the 2015 season, the Braves will either win their division or come in second. I think they will make it close and be a competitive team. Will they win the World Series? I don't think so, but you never know. The Braves continue to surprise and they may do well in the post season.

But for me, I think that they will make the playoffs but lose in the first round. Sorry Braves fans, 2015 is not the year!

Is it Spring Training Yet?

Well as everyone knows now, the baseball season is over. It was a super fun season to watch. Underdogs team succeeded and most "popular" teams didn't prosper. I am so sad as many of you probably are, that we won't be seeing baseball for a while. I for one am looking forward to spring training even though it isn't that close. For me, a world without baseball isn't a good world. That may seem dramatic, but nah.

One of the major reasons I am excited for the off season and spring training, is because of all of the free agents. It's nice to see veterans stick to their teams for a career, but when does that happen? I think it's also nice when things switch around a bit because it keeps you on your toes. This year especially, there are so many different free agents, who knows where things will go. Even though I'd always like to see the Angels win a World Series Title, I would find it nice and refreshing if an underdog team like the Astros, really come out to play this year.

It's fun to see teams thrive after a long history of failure. Not singling out teams, but sorry Cubs fans, you guys haven't won for about 100 years? I know everyone has their bad decades but I think it would be cool to see the Cubs went somewhere this year. Not even my parents have been alive for 100 years. I mean, it's a pretty long time.

I am sorry that I haven't posted in a while, but things have been busy in my life. Between crying for a couple weeks that the Giants won the World Series and school, it's been a busy life. I will try to get back to posting at least once a week updating everyone on the trades that are currently happening, and what to look forward to this upcoming season. Along with my predictions that actually never end up coming true.
