2011 Musings: Q&A Interview

Coming off a 91-71 wild card campaign, the Atlanta Braves polished their injury ridden season off with a four-game series loss to the World Champion San Francisco Giants. The Braves strengthened their roster with the acquisition of power hitting second baseman Dan Uggla and the free agent signings of relief pitchers Scott Linebrink and George Sherill. While still looking for potential suitors for the nuclear disaster, Kenshin Kawakami, as well as discussing other potential small value possibilities, Frank Wren and the front office appear to have finished their off-season dealings. In an interview with Dave O'Brien, Wren said even after the Cliff Lee signing in Philadelphia, the Braves strategy is unchanged and the roster appears "ready for Spring Training."
In a recent interview with two baseball gurus, Ryan Hoover, sports beat writer for the Cardinal & Cream Newspaper, and Keith Edwards, author and Braves paraphernalia collector, the two discussed the upcoming season for the Braves, the NL East and the MLB as a whole.

Peachtree Street has never looked sweeter as the Braves return home after a disappointing road trip. During the Braves road trip, the Phillies have surged winning 8 of their last 10 and gaining 4.5 games on the NL East leading Braves, squandering the lead to 2.5 games. After going 3-6 against the Marlins, Nationals and Reds, the Braves can only look forward and learn from this road trip as they return home. Using SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats), we can evaluate both the positives and negatives of the dreadful trip.
