2012 OSFM: Atlanta Braves

[Atlbraves10]

Shocked that there wasn't one created yet, but here we are! Easy hub for every Brave's franchise manager to find, share, and debate information such as CAPS, equipment and edits, roster concerns, and anything else Bravo-related! Braves fans had something like this last year on the thread, and it was a great help. Once I get my act together and officially close out my days on '11, and get a good look at '12, I'll post my carry over stances/motions. As for equipment, I sort of use a work in progress mode once I see what they guys are wearing in Spring.

probably the way their minors should look, IMO

JC Boscan AAA
Jose Yepez AAA D potential
Christian Bethancourt AA B potential
Mathew Kennelly AA C potential
Evan Gattis A C potential

firstbase
Ernesto Mejia AAA C pot.
Ian Gac AA D pot.
Chris Garcia A D pot.

secondbase
Drew Sutton AAA
Phil Gosselin AA D pot.
Tommy LaStella A C pot.

shortstop

Nick Ahmed A C pot.

thirdbase
Brandon Hicks AAA
Joey Terdoslavich AA C pot.
Edward Salcedo A B pot.

leftfield
Luis Durango AAA
Todd Cunningham AA C pot.
Robby Hefflinger A D pot.

centerfield
Mycal Jones AAA C pot.
LV Ware AA D pot.
Matt Lipka A C pot.

rightfield
Jordan Parraz AAA C pot.
Adam Milligan AA C pot.
David Rohm A C pot.

others that should be in game, IMO
3B Brandon Drury B potential Baseball America's Braves #10 overall prospect, Single A

3B Kyle Kubitza C pot. BA's Braves #17 prospect, Single A

3B Joe Leonard C pot. AA

OF Cory Harrilchak C pot. AA
OF Stefan Gartrell D pot. AAA

I'll look at their pitchers later.

i thought i heard terd was going to be moved from 3b to 1b this year? maybe i made that up. looks pretty identical to mine otherwise though-good work!

[Atlbraves10]

Another big step will be a CAP for Tyler Pastornicky. I'm not too talented at CAPS myself, and haven't seen one from '11, so hopefully someone can work their magic the first week of March.

Other way around. Terdo is going into camp and will begin the season as a 3B. He played 1B last year and in the Fall League, I beleive.

I signed up with Knight and Co. to help out with stances and equipment.

Once spring training is underway, I'll be spending more free time than I'd like to admit with MLB.TV, taking notes and getting things as close as possible for the roster.

Looking forward to comparing stances and pitching motions with you guys. I know many of us have different ideas on what works best for certain players, but I'm sure we can come close to a consensus decision here.

Yeah I signed up for ratings and player info, hopefully I'll have plenty of time to do it, work has been quite busy. Anyone who wants to assist please PM me.

actually, pastornicky was called up for the LAST game of the season. Even though he didnt play at all, because he was called up, he was added to the MLBPA...and i believe was added to the official roster on OCT 3rd. So...hopefully he's an official player.
