In the process of overcoming numerous ailments, including seven season- ending injuries, Atlanta led the National League East for all but one day of the 2013 campaign and captured its first division crown since 2005. The team also won 96 games, paced the majors with a 3.18 ERA and topped the NL with 181 home runs. Still, the Braves dropped their eighth straight playoff series, dating back to 2001, by losing in four games to the Dodgers in an NL Division Series. The team overachieved for much of 2013, incorporating more talent from the farm system. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons solidified his spot as the long-term answer at the position, and rookie Evan Gattis provided power and run production while seeing action at catcher and left field. Third baseman Chris Johnson, an extra piece in the Justin Upton deal with the Diamondbacks, ranked second in the NL in batting (.321) and replaced the retired Chipper Jones admirably. The farm system also contributed righthander Julio Teheran, who established himself as one of Atlanta’s most dependable starters, and lefty Alex Wood, who made his big league debut a year after being drafted in the second round out of Georgia. In other words, the Braves keep producing homegrown talent, both stars like Simmons and complementary pieces. With Brian McCann headed for a free agent payday, Panamanian catcher Christian Bethancourt is on the verge of filling the next lineup vacancy behind the plate, and second baseman Tommy La Stella should get a long look despite the $26 million still owed Dan Uggla over the next two years. Scouting director Tony DeMacio has filled voids by dipping into the college ranks for low-mileage arms while building a deeper base with high school players.Righthander Lucas Sims, a local product drafted in the first round in 2012, blossomed in his first full season. Former Oklahoma State righty Jason Hursh brought a power repertoire as 2013’s first-rounder. Reliever Shae Simmons made the jump to Double-A Mississippi in his first full season and could take his high-90s heat to Atlanta at some point in 2014. Another late-round sign, righthander Tyler Brosius, has the farm system excited, as does nondrafted free agent righty Wes Parsons, who made his pro debut in 2013 with 19 starts at low Class A Rome. The Braves’international efforts are also paying dividends. Shortstop Jose Peraza made strides in all phases of the game in 2013 at Rome, and righthander Mauricio Cabrera displayed impressive arm strength in the South Atlantic League despite struggling with his control. Outfielder Victor Reyesis blossoming in Rookie ball and could emerge as a premier prospect in thenear future. Even though the two Braves affiliates to make the playoffs-- Lynchburg and Mississippi—did so as wild-card entries, the only team tostruggle for much of 2013 was Triple-A Gwinnett. The G-Braves will have a new manager after Randy Ready was fired after one season. Taking his place will be Brian Snitker, who has served as Atlanta’s third-base coach for the past seven years and has been in the organization as a player, coach or manager since 1977. In fact, Snitker’s last managerial gig came with the Braves’ then-Triple-A affiliate Richmond in 2006. Shane Simmons竟然可以投到high-90s !! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.69.124.39 ※ 編輯: Roawen 來自: 210.69.124.39 (10/29 23:31)
