30 teams in 120 days of quarantine: Atlanta Braves fantasy preview

This series of fantasy baseball articles was intended to be something to pass the 30 days without DFS. The wait ended up being much longer. Now we are left with the prospect of just 60 games for MLB this year, the lowest game total in more than a century.

That’s assuming that we make it through the second coming of Spring Training without any kind of mishaps. I’ll believe it when I see it. The prospect of DFS on the horizon and fantasy baseball drafts being rescheduled in earnest means its time for me to finish this series off.

Most of you, like me, have played DFS for quite some time. We have never seen anything like this before. A bare lobby. No upcoming contests. E-Sports touts are in hog heaven. Even most DFS touts are trying to become E-Sports touts. It’s nuts!

Most of you, also like me, still play season-long fantasy baseball. Some for money. Some not. Some just because it’s the only interaction you have with some friends anymore. Whatever the case, we can use this break in DFS to get us polished up for our fantasy baseball drafts, whenever those may be. We started at the bottom and are slowly moving up. The Atlanta Braves were tied for 6th in wins last year with 97.

The Braves are just as loaded as they were last year, so there’s no reason why they can’t make a similar run in a shortened season. That’s especially true with the Braves adding the DH. They are one of the few National League teams that benefits from this immediately.

Here we will examine the Atlanta Braves projected lineup and rotation, and who to draft and in what general spot. We will also take a look at prospects that could make their debuts and have a fantasy impact in 2020. The 2019 stats are in parentheses. Let’s get started!
