The Braves have most of their core locked up long-term so there is no real drama as far as the starting lineup goes. There are questions on how they will fill out the bench, but given how they have chosen to use their reserves the last couple of years, which guy hangs out on the bench and rarely plays isn't a big decision or priority.
The first thing that jumps out after a quick glance is that the Braves currently only have 11 position players on their 40-man roster - which is two short of the 13 position players that they will have to carry during the regular season. So, there is work left to be done. Additionally, Atlanta still has five open spots on the 40-man roster - and that doesn't include the fact that Ian Anderson, Penn Murfee and Angel Perdomo will all begin the season on the 60-day Injured List, thus opening up three more spots. All in all, there is plenty of flexibility here, and we can expect the Braves will be extremely active on the waiver wire in the lead-up to the regular season.
