Atlanta Braves' general manager Frank Wren has laid a big egg thus far in his handling of his team's bullpen situation this offseason. Concerned that Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez would be too expensive for the cost-conscious Braves to retain, Wren wasted no time in signing Billy Wagner and Takashi Saito to fill their roles. The tally: $10.2 million, 78+ years of age, two saves, and one Tommy John surgery. Soriano subsequently accepted the...

The real question now is who will Bobby Cox be calling for once the starting pitchers finish their job? The way I see it, assuming the Braves decide to go with seven relievers, as they usually do...  

  The Atlanta Braves have added two significant arms—Billy Wagner and Takashi Saito—to a bullpen that was solid last season but was losing two of its top three pitchers. However, they have failed to address their most glaring issue: offense. The Braves ranked sixth last season in runs in the National League, not altogether terrible, but not enough to make the playoffs. The bigger issue for the Braves’ offense is the lack of power from a lineup...
