Perhaps it's the excitement of what might happen in the coming weeks, but whatever it is, the confidence of Atlanta Braves fans continues to rise (as measured by the Atlanta Braves Fan Confidence Poll). The increase was a slight increase, from 70% two weeks ago to 72% this week. News of Tim Hudson being re-signed could have had a positive effect on the poll, perhaps enough to cancel out the negative effect that the injury news about Jason Heyward may have had.

The Atlanta Braves Fan Confidence Poll at Talking Chop is taken every two weeks during the off-season, and every week during the regular season.
