The New Tribe Leaders of the NL East Part 1

I love watching young baseball players "get it," especially on the highest level.  They say that the hardest thing to do in sports is hit a baseball.  I'm not certain as to the truth of that statement, but it certainly makes for some exciting television.  Growing up and watching the 90's Braves, seeing Chipper and Andruw Jones, among others, crush it for Atlanta gave them a soft spot in my heart.  Maybe that, or the fact that TBS was one of the channels we got so we always had Atlanta Braves games on the television.  Sneaky move, Ted Turner.


The Braves have an incredibly exciting young team again, with a slick fielding second basemen who has speed and power, and really looks kind of like a young Jose Altuve.  Ozhaino "Ozzie" Albies would get the top billing on many teams, as the kid is in his early 20's and dominating both sides of the ball.  Add on a young talented 3B like Austin Riley who has power for days, and you've got a recipe for offensive success.  Not to mention they have the best pitching prospect lineup in the game and a ton of young power arms that would make most other baseball GM's salivate.  And those aren't even the best pieces of the team...
