Yes, well I guess unless your a Yankees or a Brewers fan. God forbid your one of the 16 Marlins fans in the world, if you are just know I feel for you. But alas Winter is releasing it's cruel grasp on the world and we are only 2 weeks out from Pitchers and Catchers reporting! Of course that immediately starts the all too long Spring Training schedule but hey at least there's no WBC this year so it'll be 5 painful weeks until Opening Day instead of 6!<br />

The Braves are loaded with young major league ready talent and that should keep the veteran retreads to a minimum this year. Gone are the Adonis Garcias, Erick Aybars, Bartolo Colons and Jonny Gomes' of the world. Enter Ozzie Albies, Luiz Gohara, Ronald Acuna (maybe not just yet, but soon) and Max Fried amongst other top prospects ready to showcase their talents in the Show.<br />

With so many free agents still standing in the unemployment line and the Braves payroll hovering right around $100 million one or two signings could drastically change this outlook but I believe FanGraphs' ZIPs projections had Atlanta as a 79 win team. Not bad but not going to catch the Nats either. Let's take a look at who will lead us to a glorious 80-ish win season! Playing the Marlins, Phillies and Mets 57 times should help!<br />

<br />
Julio Teheran - The Braves ace and former top prospect has suffered something akin to prospect fatigue at the big league level. Braves fans are a fickle bunch and if they see the words "Number One Prospect" they expect superstar or bust and while a superstar Julio is not he's a 2 x All Star who recently passed Steve Avery in career bWAR. I know, I know Avery had shoulder issues and never got a chance to live up to his potential but the point is Teheran is better than Braves fans would have you believe despite the fact he'll probably never be a true ace. For his contract however a number 2/3 pitcher is just fine. The guy has a career 3.59 ERA (shoot me) and is going to give you a solid start every 5 days.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mike Foltynewicz - Another former top prospect Folty as he's known around these parts was actually the Braves most valuable pitcher last season recording 1.8 fWAR. Steamer has him projected at 1.6 this year which seems about right, the guy has all the talent in the world as he runs it up to the upper 90s with ease he just has to put it all together. Everyone and their mother wants to ship him to the bullpen to be the "closer" but he's most valuable as a starter and that's where he'll stay for the time being. This will be his fourth season with the Braves, his 3rd as a full time starter so maybe he can turn the corner.<br />

<br />
<br />
Brandon McCarthy - He would've been the Braves best pitcher last year if he were on the team producing 2.4 fWAR. He came over in the MASH unit trade with Kazmir for Kemp and others and should slot in the 2nd or 3rd slot in the rotation.<br />

Sean Newcomb - A cold weather arm from Baaaahston, Newk will be entering his 2nd MLB season and seems to have a leg up on the competition for a rotation spot having spun exactly 100 inning last year. Like Folty he has all the stuff in the world but will strike out the side one inning then walk the bases loaded the next. Frustrating stuff but the fact is the guy has only pitched 450 professional innings and like I said was a cold weather arm. Which is why the Braves are still so high on him, I ran into now MLB pitching coach Chuck Hernandez in 2016 when he was the Braves roving minor league pitching coordinator at a backfield game in Lakeland and he was nice enough to answer a bunch of my stupid questions and we chatted for about 5 or 10 minutes about all the studs the Braves had in the minors at the time, out of all them he seemed most excited about Newcomb because of the raw potential. I am really high on the kid and am looking forward to what he does with a full season at the big league level.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is where it gets tricky.. Luiz Gohara seems to have the inside track for the 5th starter spot after coming up late last year and showing off his ridiculous stuff, he was the hardest throwing LH SP in the major leagues last season after all but he's just 21 and has a stable of horses right on his tail for that very same spot.<br />

Luiz Gohara - CC Sabathia Jr. makes 99 look easy as can be, and while he "only" has 2 pitches from talking to him after his Florida State League debut last season he actually throws 3 different versions of his slider according to the man himself. A hard slider, a softer version of it and a slurvy version depending on the batter and situation. The guy has barely over a 100 innings above A ball and could probably benefit from some time in Triple A if he were to struggle in Spring but he has as much raw talent as pitcher in the system and clearly has the stuff to put away big league hitters.<br />

Max Fried - Now 2 full seasons removed from his Tommy John surgery, Fried had a rough start to 2017 in Double A but silenced all the doubters once he made his major league debut and looked great in doing so with 26 solid innings. He then went to the Arizona Fall League and absolutely dominated there, so he'll be coming into Spring Training with all the confidence in the world. While my money's on Touki Toussaint, Fried is not far behind for best curveball in the system and his fastball seems to have returned all of it's velocity. Unfortunately he suffered a few hiccups due to blisters last season so hopefully those don't pop up again.<br />
<br />
Lucas Sims - Drafted all the way back in the stone ages - 2012 when men were men by God! Anyways Sims is a starter for now but has been pegged by several publications as destined for the bullpen. After 6 seasons as a full time starter though I doubt the Braves ship him out there just yet especially after he showed flashes last year in the bigs but then again with the guys listed before him and Soroka, Allard, Wright and a whole bunch more on the way it would not surprise me if he didn't head out to left field.<br />
<br />
<br />
OK I was going to blaze through this tonight but it's midnight so I will make this a 3 parter instead with Position players tomorrow and bullpen whenever the hell I feel like it.<br />
<br />

PS- Aaron Blair and Matt Wisler also still exist...<br />

I caught Biddle's only inning of work at Big League ST in Clearwater as a Brave against his hometown team and the team that drafted him in the first round all the way back in 2010. He was making his first appearance since Tommy John and was hitting 94 with a solid breaking ball working for him.</div>

I've seen Kemp a couple times this Spring and he looks more like the rookie card on the left than the Fatt Kemp of the last couple years. Hopefully he and Freeman can keep up what they had going on at the end of last year and the Braves can surprise some people this season.<br />

I hate going out of town, but sometimes my job requires it. This past week I found myself back in Fort Lauderdale doing some work at the port, luckily I have family down there so I usually have something to do besides stare at the wall in my hotel room. Also there is a great card store close by, though he moved since the last time I was down there nearly 2 years ago Scott's Sports Cards is my favorite card shop/vendor I've stumbled across. Scott is a super nice guy with totally fair prices and isn't as greedy as most card vendors seem to be, if you ever find yourself in South Florida I highly recommend checking his store out though it's a small warehouse space now instead of his old storefront in a shopping plaza. Here's the address - <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">10128 N.W. 53rd Street. Sunrise, FL 33351.</span></div>

Anyways I walked in looking for 2017 Topps because after buying over 200 cards via retail I got sick after only pulling 2 Braves... that's 1%... Grabbed these three Dansby rookies plus a full team set with multiples of most of them for other folks and a couple other inserts for about 5 bucks.</div>

2 more of the inserts I grabbed, big fan of both of these designs. Love the simplicity of the Father's Day one and being a big fan of Topps Fire I also dig the 5 Tool inserts.</div>

This guy has so many cards I found this super thick Bowman TV insert in between the boxes, I interviewed Touki during the offseason for Talking Chop and he's a super nice kid from South Florida - Coral Springs where my family lives to be exact, was cool to talk to a super talented kid in my favorite team's farm system about eating at Cherry Smash ice cream. Wish him the best of luck this year in High A where i'll probably be able to catch some of his starts since the Braves moved their High A affiliate about an hour or so from my house.</div>

There were boxes and boxes of autographs, relics, serial numbered cards etc. On this trip though I got there only an hour or so before closing time so I skimmed the top of the boxes for the thickest cards like this Inception auto of Travis Demeritte, which was less than half the price of online.</div>

I've already got this Inception Auto of Max Fried but grabbed another copy because for these prices... why not? This kid is going to be a stud. Should start in AA and if he picks up where he left off in 2016 he won't be there long.</div>

The other guy in the Alex Jackson trade that went down the day before Thanksgiving, further proof that Braves General Manager John Coppolella never sleeps. Pike is a lefty from nearby (to me) Polk County who has struggled by the numbers in the minors so far but has also been in mostly hitter friendly leagues. Excited to see what he can do with a change of scenery hopefully to the massive Trustmark Park in Mississippi of the Southern League (AA)</div>

Closing it out with my guy Folty. 2017 will be his year, mark my words. Come back and tell me I'm wrong in October but I don't think I will be. Thanks for reading, I ended up going back the next day and grabbing more cards but I'll make that another post. </div>

Headed up to Disney Saturday to catch the Braves first full squad workout. There's not much scouting to do during batting practice, group stretching and infield/outfield drills at less than full speed but I'll recap what I saw while there.</div>

Showed up early and caught some guys including top prospect Dansby Swanson taking hacks in the batting cages just beyond right center field. You always hear all the "best shape of my life" quotes out of Spring Training but some guys were notably in better shape including Dansby who looks as though he put on a little more muscle over the offseason. That could be that I hadn't seen him up close since last Spring Training but Rio Ruiz was another guy who definitely was in tip top shape and appears ready to show the club that he's ready for the show full time as a potential platoon partner with Adonis Garcia at the hot corner.</div>

I'm a week late but I've bought about 9 packs of the newest release at various Targets so far. These were the best photos in my humble opinion. I'm not crazy about the design but I don't hate it either. My favorite aspect of it is the lack of chrome and the continued trend of no borders which I love.</div>

Here's all the inserts I pulled - I like the clean look of the Memorial Day cards - If your team is in this I'm making it a goal to send out trade packages to several of you, I haven't forgotten just been in the card room much less lately. I have a huge box full of stuff I've been acquiring for most of you who I trade regularly with.</div>

One of the guys there had a bunch of 8/$1.00 boxes and 4/1, I don't remember which were which but I got a bunch of shiny/parallels/newer inserts for cheap. This R.A. Dickey was from the 1996 Olympics and he's now a Brave so I had to grab it. Funny he pitched in Atlanta in the Olympics and Bartolo Colon had his debut in Turner Field.</div>

If you've ever wondered why I blog less now it's not because I am watching less baseball or buying fewer cards. I'm still as fanatical as ever but in April I innocently started a "Braves Prospects" twitter to log my following of the minor leagues. Before I knew it I had 3,000+ followers and was getting asked to write for the Braves SB Nation website Talking Chop. </div>

I was able to make my way up to Kissimmee yesterday to see the debut of Kevin Maitan at the first game of Fall Instructional League play for the Braves this year. I'm pretty sure you all know about Maitan by now but he was the #1 overall international prospect for the 2016 class and has been deemed "Venezuela's Next Great Prospect" by Baseball America and deemed the best international prospect to sign since Miguel Sano all the way back in 2009.<br />

Many scouts stated that if he were eligible for last June's draft he would be a first round pick and a high one at that. It's not often you find a switch hitting six foot five 16 year old kid who can play shortstop and hit for power but the Braves did just that on July 2nd inking him to a $4.5 million dollar deal.<br />
<br />
It being a road game, I wasn't 100 percent sure Maitan would travel or even play but on my way up I heard he was in the lineup and starting at short and may or may not have started driving a little bit faster. The game was against the Astros who are still using Osceola County Stadium for their Instructional League games until the Braves move in next year.<br />

I had never been to the backfields here and came in the wrong way behind right field and to my surprise (and delight) saw Ian Anderson warming up out there. Not far from him were all of the position players warming up and there he was as big as any of the other guys including Juan Yepez and Braxton Davidson. I snapped a couple of quick photos and settled in near the Braves dugout as per usual for me at GCL and instructional games. Right before the game I asked him for a photo and I think it might be the first photo of him actually in a Braves uniform. I got a lineup card from one of the coaches and settled in to watch the first inning.<br />

<br />
The Braves went down 1, 2, 3 in the top of the first and on came Ian Anderson, this was actually my first time catching him live and he really does make it look easy with a smooth, effortless delivery. His last start for Danville was on September 1st and you could tell with the way he was having trouble locating his pitches, walking 2 or 3 over his 2 innings. His stuff was there with the fastball sitting 92-94 and he had some nice break on the offspeed stuff but you could tell there was a little rust from not pitching in almost four weeks.<br />
<br />
In the top of the 2nd Braxton Davidson lead off with a walk and up came Kevin Maitan. He did not look overmatched at all for a 16 year old taking his first professional at bat, fouling a few pitches off before eventually grounding out.<br />
<br />
In the field he made a few solid plays, making all of them look easy - on a fly ball to shallow left he took charge over the much older Davidson in left and made a nice over the shoulder catch going back on the ball. He flashed the plus arm on a ball to his left that wasn't a routine ground ball but he made it look that way, easily throwing the runner out at first. He also started a 6-4-3 double play to end the 2nd inning.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
In the 3rd inning Derian Cruz reached on a solid base hit, Cristian Pache hit into a fielder's choice and stole a base easily with Maitan at the plate. Maitan again grounded out in his first RBI chance. It was definitely nice to see Cruz, Pache, Davidson, Maitan, Cumberland 2-6 in the lineup even though neither team scored.<br />
<br />
Jeremy Walker came in to pitch the 3rd inning in relief of Anderson who threw 2 scoreless innings, he's another tall righty with 4 pitches and worked a clean inning as thunder started to rumble in the background. Right as the final out of the 3rd was recorded a loud lightning strike hit nearby and they put the game into a 30-minute delay and eventually called it once rain rolled in which is unfortunate since Joey Wentz was warmed up and ready to pitch the 4th.<br />

<br />
<br />
Brett Cumberland started at catcher and from his draft profile and scouting reports i'd come to assume he was very raw behind the plate. I didn't see him make any mistakes over 3 innings and seemed to work well with Anderson. Derian Cruz slid over from his normal SS position to 2nd base and looked just fine out there.<br />
<br />
I only got to see 2 of his at bat's but I'd say all in all Kevin Maitan lived up to the hype. He's a a huge kid who makes every thing on the baseball field look easy. I've never seen a guy his size play shortstop that easily, I really do think he might have a shot to stick there. He seems to have settled right in with the team, I noticed he sat next to Juan Yepez most of the game a fellow Venezuelan.<br />

I'm not sure how many Instructional League games I'll be able to make it to this month but I will definitely be back to Osceola County Stadium next year to watch the Braves new High-A club whatever crazy name they end up with.<br />

Most of my time I used to spend blogging I have been spending watching the Braves minor leagues. Some nights I watch 3 games at once (always with the MLB Braves on the big screen) but mostly minor league baseball. I didn't expect it but it's caused me to fall even deeper in love with the game. Going to Gulf Coast League games to check out the young international prospects and being one of the only people there will do that to you. </div>

Friday. Yes it was Friday when I finally found glorious blasters of Stadium Club at a Target near me. I had stopped by last Friday and this Monday in search of the new product and to be honest I hadn't looked at too many of the images on purpose.</div>

They had loose packs and hangers but I went for the blaster and Griffey was in my first pack. First card out was of Jayson Werth but i'm not making a National the feature card of any post on this blog.</div>

My favorite part of Stadium Club the last couple years have been the black and white shots. Pulling a Braves player in 3 of the first 4 packs and 4 total in the blaster didn't hurt either.</div>

This was the card that sparked the trade, Oscar pulled it right when GQ dropped so that shows you just how behind I am with trades/everything card related. I am almost done reorganizing everything out in the garage after losing my card room/office to my son. </div>

I'm still here folks, I have still been reading your posts and acquiring cards like a mad man just haven't had as much time to post. Maybe I burnt myself out a little bit with 25 posts in March. I also have been kicked out of my office/card room so that my son can move into it. More on that later, let's show off some cardboard.</div>

Hard as it was because I love Five Star cards, I waited and waited on this one to drop to around five bucks on eBay and snatched it up. Wisler is having a pretty solid sophomore season so far - 3.98 ERA, 1.12 WHIP over 72.1 IP in 11 starts. He also has a save somehow from when Fredi Gonzalez burned through his whole bullpen in 10 innings once. (farewell Fredi!)</div>

Although I have yet to buy any of this year's Archives I did get this 2015 Archives card of Kevin Kiermaier signed in person at the 2nd Rays home game of the season, he has since broken his wrist and will miss most of the year... bummer. I will probably be going to buy some '16 Archives tonight actually</div>

2 weeks ago I got to go to a Braves Extended Spring Training game featuring some of the kids drafted last year and a bunch of super young International players. That's Christian Yellich's brother Collin on the left and former Bowling Green catcher Trey Keegan on the right who's a nice guy. I was one of about 6 people there and stood here for most of the game. Pretty good time.</div>

As you all know the Braves SUCK this year, historically bad big league team. No way around it, so I look to the future. Pro Debut couldn't come soon enough for me and I was able to snag this Austin Riley auto for a pretty good deal on the Bay right after it released.</div>

One more thing before I go - Has anyone ever stored cards in the garage? I have this large space cleared out in mine to turn into an office space and am going to EVENTUALLY finish the room but is it safe to store my cards out here until then? Thanks for any input and thanks for reading my blog as always!</div>

Definitely "needed" this '58 Hanebrink for the team set and the fact it's a beauty of a card. Need to put some work in on my want lists etc. on the blog/card room but have been too busy trying to watch baseball and playoff hockey and some playoff basketball in between in my rare spare time lately.</div>

Sweet purple cracked ice parallel of 2014 4th rounder Chad Sobotka. He's only pitched 37 innings since being drafted and is currently on the DL in A ball. He's only 22 though and he's 6' 7" so I think he'll stick around for a while.</div>

I'd never seen these Topps HD cards before these 2 fell out of the package. Pretty much the perfect card in my eyes - glossy, crisp photo on thicker card stock with minimalist design. I'm already on the hunt for more. </div>

Nice on card Heritage auto of former Braves prospect Jarrod Saltalamacchia. He was part of the Mark Teixeira trade way back when and has since won a World Series in Boston. He's had an up and down career, much like his 2016 - </div>

<span style="color: #292929; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">He hit .313/.405/.875 through April 20 and led the team in home runs, RBI and Fangraphs’ version of WAR during that stretch.</span> </div>

<span style="color: #292929; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Since then, Saltalamacchia has cooled off considerably, hitting .138/.194/.345 with one home run in his last 10 games. </span></div>

Walked into Target today after work to see if they had the new Bowman, it's been on eBay for days and a bunch of people have been posting it early over on Twitter. I walked in and they had it all, loose packs, blasters, 3-packs you name it. Gypsy Queen seemed like it came about a week late at my store so it was nice to pick some up on release date this time.</div>

This disc shaped oddball is from a 1993 set put out by Ben's Bakery. It looks to me like they still operate out of Sackville Nova Scotia. Good for them, this John Smoltz will fit nicely in my PC of his though it literally won't fit...</div>

Steve posted one of these 1939 stamps commemorating the 100th anniversery of baseball a while back and I claimed the extra, very cool item and now the oldest baseball item in my collection</div>

I honestly don't mind when cards this old were given the "Update" treatment before there was such a thing. Still great looking cards and all needed for the team sets.</div>

The Phillies had a pretty good pitching staff in '67 it seems. Gonna be fun to see the potato sack set in Heritage next year. Am I the only one who instantly thinks "burlap sack" when seeing these?</div>

The last of the vintage/oddball portion of this package was this much needed "Hank Aaron Special" Pretty great card making me realize I need four more Hanks.. this'll do for now.</div>

This is my first manufactured Bat Barrel, very cool, thick card of one of my favorite players. I really miss McCann and saw he's playing some 1B now in New York which usually means a catcher is getting towards the end.</div>

Finally Steve hit me with some 2016 set needs that knocked me down to one or two cards needed to complete the set. Maybe tonight i'll find time to finish bindering it up so I know for sure. I've had less time for cards and blogging lately and haven't been writing as much lately because of it. Thanks for reading and sticking with me! Most of all thanks to you Steve for all the great cards to blog about. I still owe trade posts to Shane D., Chris R., Mark Hoyle and JBF. I haven't forgotten you guys!</div>
