The Atlanta Braves off-season has concluded as they switch their focus onto Spring Training. There were a lot of additions this off-season that flew under the radar, additions that could have a big impact this season.

The Atlanta Braves will kick off spring training this week, heading into a season where expectations are understandably high. While the Braves young core and veterans like Marcell Ozuna and Cole Hamels are the headlines headed into Spring Training those aren’t the players Braves fans should be focused on.

With Cole Hamel’s injury and the Braves veterans having limited playing time Spring Training is unlikely to offer much entertainment.

The games are usually full of switches and limited innings for any actual starters. With this in mind, let’s take a look at the players you should be paying close attention to during the coming weeks.
