Looks like pretty much what we expected. A nice outfield this year with Mahtook, TyMo and new additions Glaesmann and Kiermaier.
HOW DID I DO?
The predictions in January weren't too far off! I picked Kelly, Rief and Thompson. Sp's Cruz and Barnese were released last week, also wrong on Paduch and Dyer. Fleming was about the only reliever I picked correctly, though Nevarez is rehabbing and may join the Skitz later.
I called Bailey and Albernaz as catchers, along with Wendt. I would have done better at this position if it weren't for Wendt being suspended for taking an Adderall! Thomas and Acosta are fine backstops, and it was a tossup as to who we got this season behind the plate.
In the outfield I knew Mahtook and Morrison would return, they looked to have unfinished business here, and Kiermaier was certainly due a promotion. I am a little surprised we didn't get Velazquez back after his injury last year, and I am sure Rogers will be along soon to round out my oufield predictions.
The infield got me, I only called Price and Sexton right - Deitrichs trade threw off the whole scenario for me. Im glad to get Omalley back, as well as Estrada, Seitzer and Torres, all should work well on the infield together.

Holy Smokes! Thats a TON of FANTASTIC promotions!
The Braves are the bus drivers, taking everyone to school on how to make fans feel wanted and appreciated. This sets the bar pretty high, looks like every team in the SL could take a lesson on how to treat their season ticket holders. Certainly this is the best value for the price, clearly blowing away every front office. No chance the Skitz repeat the "Promotions of the Year" award they picked up this offseason.
Hopefully the rest of the Southern League sees how its done and steps up to the plate to compete! That is an INCREDIBLE and SUPER value! This is the best season ticket in the league!
