Well...
Anything is possible, I reckon. We seem to have our starting lineup in place, other than the actual order of course. The four and five spots in our rotation are still up for grabs, but I'm sure that we'll fill those spots inside the organization. Ditto for the bench.

One thing I'd like to see is for the Braves to add a solid lefty in the bullpen, one that can tide us over until Gonzalez can come back in full form. I'm still a bit nervous about Royce Ring, and know next to nothing about Ohman. Maybe they can be the answer for us, though. Wren and company don't seem too concerned about it, so we'll just have to see.

If you listen to...
the conference call with Wren, Kotsay, and some reporters on the MLB site Wren says something like "we still a couple of smaller scale moves that we're working on" near the end of the call.

I got all tinglelly inside when I heard that.

Not quite finished ?
I still see Wren adding another reliever or insurance starter before spring training draws to a close.  With the trade of Aybar and the addition of Ridgeway I think you can see the kind of moves that Wren was talking about. Hopefully they will be insurance for the future as the Braves are built for one year and I believe that Mark Texeria will be in a Braves uniform for many years to come; but whom shall surround him after this season, after the contract they sign him to I have no clue.
