Braves fan all the way. Seeing how Acuna is 200% this year, and we have more depth in the field (Mateo, Heim, Yastrzemski, and pitching, Suarez) it is looking really really good this year for our chances of the NL East title. We had the best off-season by far in our division.

I was just about to comment on Acuna saying he's 200% this year- so far in Grapefruit league the bats are HOT- hope they stay that way.

Yep, the team as a whole seems to have a ton of chemistry. Sale did good in his last start. And they also have one of the best records for all spring. Which usually never happens lol.

One of the things I love about Cleveland is how they handle their farm clubs. I don't know why more clubs don't do this but, with Cleveland, ALL minor league clubs from the Rookie League to Tripple-A follow the same basic game game strategy as doe's the big club. This means that the 'rookie' already knows how the main club plays and this results in a much less needed time for transition. As a couple of examples..

• Not many years ago Cleveland needs a left fielder and they bring up Kwan. Even as a rookie he got a gold glove and has done so every year he has played.
• They lose a Platinum Glove second baseman and bring up a rookie that makes the All-Star game in his first year.

There are other examples but you get the point. Due to how the farm clubs are handled Cleveland has gotten the reputation of having the best farm system in the league.
