General Manager of the Atlanta Braves Answers Questions On Twitter

On Monday evening, Atlanta Braves General Manager John Coppolella took over the Atlanta Braves Twitter account (@Braves) for a brief question and answer session with fans. This is the second time that Coppolella has taken over the account to interact directly with the fans. The #AskCoppy sessions have proven to be both popular and informative, and are likely to continue into the spring and possibly into the start of the season.

Highlights

  • More trades could happen – even before Opening Day – if it improves the team
  • The team expects Suntrust Park to play similar to Turner Field, and possibly slightly better for hitters
  • Catcher is a position of concern, in terms of overall organizational depth
  • A college bat may be the priority in the upcoming MLB draft
  • Both Ozhaino Albies and Dansby Swanson will start at SS somewhere this season
  • The team expects the bullpen to be much improved this year

Coppolella was very optimistic about the Braves’ chances for improvement this season. Tomahawk Take’s Alan Carpenter covered several reasons why the Atlanta Braves should be optimistic, several of which Coppolella also mentioned tonight.

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights in detail…
