Talking about Wren taking over as GM. First move he makes, bringing back Glavine.

Hudson and Smoltz talking about going an extra inning to take pressure off the bullpen.

Hampton saying he is approaching the season and his 1st start like he has done in the past.

Moylan and Soriano has the setup and closer. McCann has the main man behind the plate.

Tex @ 1B. Chipper @ 3B and in the 3rd and 4th spot in the lineup. KJ @2B. Escobar @ SS while Renteria will be missed.

OF:
Kotsay in CF. He is encouraged by the progress he has made. He is lifting weights. One day at a time. Diaz and Frenchy round out the OF. Frenchy wants to put it all together. 45 Dbls with 30 HR's.

Backup Catcher is an interesting position: Javy Lopez.

5 Reasons for returning: Wife and 4 kids. He wasn't enjoying it. The family was giving up alot while he pitched in NY, he felt the guilt over it. BC and Smoltz were another reason for his returning to Atlanta. 1 yr deal no option attached to it.

He wants to enjoy it. The enjoyment of coming to the park. To play for an organization and the opportunity to play for something.

No Edgar at SS or AJ roaming in CF for the 1st time 11 yrs. Folks, I think we are poised for another division title, we have it all. A nice mixture of young players and vets, we are letting our actions do our talking while the Mets are looking for healthy bodies and the Phillies are jawing at each other while we sit back and listen.

I can't wait to see how the new guys do.
