If Atlanta Braves first baseman Troy Glaus comes even close to matching his best season of 47 home runs and a .284 average, the Braves could actually compete for the East title.
The problem is, Glaus has hit that well just once in his entire career. His hot preseason streak is promising only to show that [...]

Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox is pretty much convinced that Jason Heyward will be his starting right fielder when the season starts.
Heyward’s hot progress continues, hitting a 425-foot bomb the other night in the Grapefruit games. He’s batting .417 in these preseason games. Let’s not forget, either, that the Braves had to make special concessions [...]

All eyes are on Atlanta Braves minor league outfielder and MLB’s top prospect, Jason Heyward, who is hitting bombs in practice as the team prepares for the Grapefruit League games.

I’m not going to be a homer and say the Braves are going to [...]

Johnny Damon, 36, signed with the Detroit Tigers for $8 million today. The Tigers and the Atlanta Braves were rumored to be in the hunt for Damon, but the Braves offered HALF of what the Tigers offered, according to some media reports.

Chipper Jones is usually the first guy on the Atlanta Braves who is asked to comment on some new player in the farm system. But I cannot remember one as remarkable as his comparison of Jason Heyward to Fred McGriff.
McGriff is a bit of an unsung hero for the Atlanta Braves because when he signed [...]

Johnny Damon is considering offers from possible three our four teams but his agent, Scott Boras, has already said he prefers to play for either the Atlanta Braves or the Detroit Tigers. Well, apparently the Tigers offered the 36-year-old outfielder possibly $3 million more than the Braves did.
Bye Bye Johnny.
I’m mad. There was no way [...]
