Braves Are Coming Home

The Atlanta Braves are heading back home for their last two games of the spring season. The Braves play tonight at 7:10 and tomorrow at 1:10.

This would be a great chance to see the Braves before they make their final roster moves. Who will start in centerfield? Remains the largest question left for the spring season. A report from TalkingChop.com says Atlanta almost acquired Jason Repko from the Dodgers to platoon in center. Atlanta needs to stick with the two guys they could possibly have in center, however they both hit left-handed. I can see the Braves concern with all the possible lefties in the lineup. Atlanta already has one outfield platooned position-and I'm not going to pay my money to see Jason Repko (a Kotsay type of player) patrol centerfield.

The Braves will send Javier Vazquez to the mound tonight. Tomorrow will dawn the likes of Kenshin Kawakami for the first 4 or 5 innings followed by top pitching prospect Tommy Hanson for the remainder of the game.
